Traditionally this curry mix is used in a popular dish called beef phanaeng where beef is cooked in coconut milk, palm sugar and fish sauce. It is milder in taste compared to other Thai curries and a bit drier. For this post I will be using it with pork instead which closely resemble the taste of a popular Filipino Pork Curry called Bicol Express.
