    Absolutely delicious! The meals I’ve made for my family have been amazing. The curry paste is very rich and has a great depth in flavor! I wish they came in bigger sizes because I have to use a lot for my family but I will for sure be buying more!

Top Expert Facts About Malaysian Curry Paste

  • Malaysian curry paste is a blend of spices, herbs, and aromatics used to create the base for many traditional Malaysian curries.
  • It typically includes lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, chili peppers, garlic, and shallots.
  • The flavor of the paste can vary depending on the region it comes from; some may be milder, while others may be spicier or more fragrant.
  • When using Malaysian curry paste in cooking, you should always taste it before adding any additional seasonings or spices, as it can be pretty intense.
  • You might also find that different brands have slightly different flavors, so experiment with a few until you find one that suits your tastes best.
  • To get the most out of your curry paste, ensure to fry it in oil before adding other ingredients like vegetables or meat – this will help bring out its full flavor potential!

About Mama Lam’s

In the 1980’s Mama Lam, who is Malaysian Chinese, had the opportunity to go to New York City, where she ended up meeting her husband and decided to settle in NYC.The city was a melting pot of multicultural cuisines but it did not offer many options for Malaysian cuisine, especially for Mama Lam’s favorite curry noodle soup. With limited  Malaysian curry options to choose from, in her own kitchen, Mama Lam created her own, by adjusting her mother’s recipe to what she could find in NYC that she could share with her children.

In 2014, while traveling, Mama Lam and her daughters found a Southeast Asian food stand serving curry laksa noodle soup and decided that Mama Lam’s curry was so much better. That began the journey of recipe perfecting, and ingredient hunting until everything pieced together, and Mama Lam’s curry pastes and hot sauces were launched in 2016. And that was the beginning of Mama Lam’s. The three of them began the journey of recipe perfecting and the team continues to work in Long Island City, NY, making small-batch family recipes.

Made In NY

The mild Malaysian Curry Paste is an excellent alternative to the Medium Curry Paste for those who have a low tolerance to spice. It still has a kick to it, but it won’t overwhelm. It can be used in a range of different dishes and in different ways. You can even use it as a tasty dip.

In each 4 oz jar, there are approximately 8 servings, and if you get the larger 8oz jar, you will get double the amount of servings. 

Once the jar is open, you don’t have to worry about using it quickly, as it will last up to a year in the refrigerator. However, when you try it, you may find that you love it so much that it will be used long before the year is up!
