ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The best way to discover Mekhala
If you’ve never tried Mekhala before, this is where to start. Six different pastes — spanning Thai curries, a classic Tom Yum, a bold Roasted Red Chilli Paste, and a fragrant Vietnamese Lemongrass Turmeric — give you a complete picture of what stone-ground, whole-ingredient cooking pastes can do.
Unlike supermarket pastes padded with water, salt, and stabilizers, every Mekhala paste is built from real aromatics stone-ground in small batches at the brand’s own facility in Chiang Mai. No fish sauce, no shrimp paste, no MSG. Just whole organic ingredients that deliver restaurant-quality flavor in minutes.
Each jar is 3.53oz / 100g — enough for 6–8 servings — so the variety pack gives you a genuine run of each paste before you decide which to reorder by the jar.
What’s Inside
Six flavors. Two cuisines. One box.
Not sure where to begin? Here’s a rundown of each paste and what they’re made for.
Red Curry Paste
Bold and warming, made with dried red chillies, galangal, and lemongrass. The most versatile paste in the range — works for curries, marinades, stir-fries, and soups.
🌶🌶 Medium · ThaiYellow Curry Paste
Warm, slightly sweet, and deeply comforting. Turmeric gives it a golden hue while lemongrass and galangal add fragrance without heat. Ideal for family meals.
🌶 Mild · ThaiGreen Curry Paste
The spiciest of the range — bright, herbal, and deeply fragrant. Made with fresh green chillies, Thai basil, and kaffir lime. The paste that delivers real Thai heat.
🌶🌶🌶 Hot · ThaiLemongrass Turmeric
Bright, fragrant, and clean — inspired by Vietnamese cuisine. Lemongrass and turmeric create a golden, aromatic paste that pairs beautifully with chicken, fish, and noodles.
🌶 Mild · VietnameseTom Yum Paste
Sour, aromatic, and warming. Captures the iconic sweet-sour-spicy broth of Thailand's most beloved soup. Equally at home in noodle soups, stir-fries, and seafood dishes.
🌶🌶 Medium · ThaiRoasted Red Chilli Paste
Smoky, deep, and complex. Made from slow-roasted chillies for a rich, layered heat. Use as a condiment, stir-fry base, or flavor bomb added to any dish that needs a lift.

6 simple ways to use Mekhala's cooking pastes.
Adding Asian flavors to everyday cooking has never been easier.
Curry
Sauté 1–2 tbsp paste in coconut cream over medium heat until fragrant. Add your protein, pour in coconut milk, and simmer for 15 minutes. Restaurant-quality in one pan.
1 jar + 1 can coconut milk
Marinade
Mix 2 tbsp of any paste with oil and a squeeze of lime. Marinate chicken, tofu, or fish for 30 minutes before grilling or roasting for deep, layered flavour.
30 min · grill or roast
Stir-Fry
Add paste to a hot wok with oil, your protein, and vegetables. A 15-minute weeknight dinner with real depth of flavour and minimal washing up.
15 min weeknight
Sauce & Dressing
Whisk 2 tbsp paste with coconut cream, lime juice, and a touch of soy for a bold dipping sauce, noodle dressing, or grain bowl topping.
2 tbsp paste + coconut cream
Noodle Soup
Stir Tom Yum or Lemongrass Turmeric paste into hot broth with rice noodles, mushrooms, and a soft-boiled egg for an instant Thai or Vietnamese soup.
Ready in 10 min
Condiment
Serve Roasted Chilli Sambal straight from the jar alongside eggs, rice, noodles, or grilled meats as a punchy finishing sauce. No cooking required.
Straight from the jarPaste vs. Sauce:This is a concentrated paste — not a ready-to-eat sauce. It needs coconut milk (or another liquid) if used in cooking.

The Green Curry Paste is the hottest — rated 3 out of 3 on our heat scale. Tom Yum and Roasted Chilli Sambal are medium heat. Red Curry is medium. Yellow Curry has mild heat while Lemongrass Turmeric is not spicy — great starting points for those new to spice.
Mix 2–3 tablespoons of Tom Yum paste with 2 cups of water or light broth, bring to a simmer, then add mushrooms, tofu, prawns, or your protein of choice. Add a splash of lime juice and coconut milk for a richer version.
Use 2 tablespoons mixed with oil as a marinade for chicken or fish, as a stir-fry base, or blended into soups and broths. Its bright, fragrant character pairs beautifully with coconut milk, vermicelli noodles, and fresh herbs.
Absolutely — covering every heat level and two Asian cooking traditions in one striking set. The six glass jars look beautiful together and the variety means the recipient always has the right paste to hand.
Once opened, refrigerate and use within 4–6 weeks. For longer storage, freeze in tablespoon-sized portions — each paste keeps for up to 3 months in the freezer with no loss of flavor.
