Your favourite supermarket thai curry pastes

[Harnser]

Tesco has recently (since I last bought a jar, anyhow) reformulated their green thai curry paste to a gloopy flavourless mess, with the main ingredient being "green pepper". Bleurgh.

Which pastes that are available from regular shops do you rate?

I find the Sainsburys rendang/panang good. Got the Lidl ones in the cupboard to try next.

my wife just calls me lazy as curry pastes are really easy to make. We tend to freeze ginger/lemongrass for them as you don't use it often.

Interesting I might try it. I rate highly the pastes from https://www.randgcurrypaste.co.uk/ which are tastier than those stocked by the major supermarkets, and homemade should turn out similar.

It's hard to find ones with >55% coconut extract. Tesco are now selling one that's 25%!
