Review of Aroy-D Ready-made Thai Red Curry
I am a fan of Thai cuisine, and often go to different Thai restaurants in town. I also enjoy having Thai food at home, but am typically too lazy to prepare it from scratch, what with the curry paste, the fish sauce and the kaffir lime leaves among other ingredients. One day I’ll try it, but for now, we’ll keep seeking authentic pre-made varieties.
We’ve had difficulties finding good pre-made Thai food, in particular, Thai curries, and I generally wouldn’t recommend any of them, until I tried Aroy-D’s Red Curry.
Since I am not too enthusiastic about making curry from scratch, but love the authentic and exotic spicy taste; I wa
s pleasantly surprised to find that this red curry tastes very close to restaurant quality. It has the proper liquid consistency, and has the right amount of flavour and spice. It could be spicier for me, but then my husband wouldn’t eat it; so it’s good that it doesn’t burn your mouth. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that there were already some vegetables marinating in this can. The Aroy-D red curry is produced by Thai Agri Foods,which is a good indication that it is authentic.

All you have to do is heat it over a stovetop, and add chicken (or your meat of choice), cook and serve with basmati or jasmine rice. The can indicates that you should bring it to a boil then add your raw chicken, but I wasn’t too sure of this, so instead; I fried up my chicken then added it to the sauce. I also added some additional vegetables.
I bought the Aroy-D Red Curry at the Real Canadian Superstore, but I’m sure it can also be found at Walmart. The can is only $1.99, in comparison to the other pre-made curries in jars, which cost around $5.00 each. I bet their green and mussaman curries are just as good.
Try it out, it’s very tasty.
UPDATE: I just wanted to let you all know that we’ve also tried the Green Curry, and it just might be even better than the red one. We love them both because it’s just so easy.
