Panang curry paste is one of the many pastes based on red curry, but the recipe includes more dry spices. Panang curry is cooked with meat and no vegetables and with just enough coconut milk to cover, resulting in a dry curry dish, unlike red or green curry, which is more soup-like. The result is a curry dish full of flavor. Peanuts are also sometimes added to this dish, making it popular with foreigners.
