Never ever again.
My first mistake was ignoring the reviews. My second was using this awful paste to make a veg curry with the delicious squash that my neighbour grew and then kindly gave me. I wondered whether I had accidentally used a soapy pan? Or bowl? I rinsed the veg in desperation to salvage something. Just as bad. Inedible. Soapy, with a weird unidentifiable unpleasant undertone. Never ever again.
Not Thai, not pleasant
I agree completely with all the one and two star reviews. Smells and looks like tomato pasta sauce with faint touches of lemongrass. No Thai flavour at all, not aromatic, no heat. We ate the curry because we had made it, but it wasn't a Thai curry and the rest of the jar is in the bin. How can Tesco be ignoring all the reviews like this in the last year??
Never Again
This tasted so weird I actually thought my vegetarian protein 'pieces' had gone off in the freezer. It has a vile soapy taste. I forced down half my curry then binned it. To be honest I can't even put it into words, it tastes like the smell of a well known toilet cleaning product that quacks . .
Horrible chemically taste, watery consistency .

Very disappointing
Thin and watery. Had to use the whole jar to get any flavour at all. Not like a proper curry paste, more like a cheap jar of curry sauce.
Bland and tasteless.
Disgustingly bland. Spent money on quality ingredients to make a special dish, monkfish, king prawns etc. What a waste. Completely lacking in any thai flavours....
Completely tasteless
Absolutely tasteless. Added no flavour at all to the Thai curry we made.
Bland
Bland. Used with can of coconut oil in pressure cooker. No taste. Had to add lots more spices when finished which subsequently didn’t taste anything like Thai red curry.
Not too spicy
If you're one of those people who want your curries to blow your head off, then this isn't for you. It's very mild. I've used it with chicken and fish, each time adding fish sauce and a little sugar to enhance the flavour. It's been a winner with the family, including our 5-year old daughter who won't go near anything too spicy. For everyday meals it is excellent value.
Avoid at all costs!
Disgusting, smells like bathroom cleaner and doesn't taste much better. Spend a bit more money and get a branded sauce or make your own!
