Yea, they are all great. I had a phase where I cooked Thai red chicken curry every week for months. These days I make kung pao chicken a lot.

I really enjoy a premade curry paste but haven't tried many. This brand is in my local grocery and is a nice price. I usually like the green one

I recently used it to marinate chicken thighs using this recipe and holy smokes it was awesome! I sauteed em in a pan on the stove but the grill would have been superb

With any of the pre made ones you have to add a bunch of stuff to them, for thai curry's it's usually oyster sauce, fish sauce, a little coconut sugar and some dried chilis that take it to the next level. For indian curries you need to stir fry some ginger and garlic puree with chilis then toast some curry powder in the mix before adding the sauce, otherwise it usually just tastes like a weird tomato sauce to me.
For curry paste you also have to make sure you fry it alone on the pan until you can smell it before adding any coconut milk/water/tomatoes, heating it alone in the pan is what gets all the oils and flavors out. If you just plop the paste into liquid to make the sauce it never really fully flavors up. Always add way more than what the package says too
I like this thai one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006VD15FO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't make curries all that often (although I do eat a lot of green curries prepared elsewhere!), and this Mae Ploy green curry is rich and spicy, rarely requiring adjunct.
On an ancillary note, the following is a must as an accompaniment to most dishes:

I don't like curry paste that much, I like fresh curry. They are all very good except butter chicken. A lot of people like butter chicken but I don't.

Thanks for the tips I'll have to try those. I knew about the stir frying it first along with the toasting, but didn't think of the other additives.

Noted.
I'm about to go grocery shoppin'... Gonna see if they have any brands that've been posted here.
Of course, I'm sure homemade is better...but I'd wanna do some trial & error with pre-made first.

That recipe sounds yummy. Yea I've used that Blue Dragon curry, it's good.
Although I said in an earlier comment that I'm a basic white boy and all curries are good, I should add that I don't just simply add the curry and call it a day. I always add garlic and/or onion, jalepeรฑo, and a habanero pepper. I like it really spicy!

I love fresh/home made thai curry but the base takes me hours to make, and involves stopping at multiple grocery stores to get all the obscure ingredients I need. The taste is awesome but to me it's not different enough than just buying the paste
Indian curry is a different story though, fresh tastes so much better than any jarred stuff I found. I actually made a batch last night from scratch, only took 30 minutes or so and came out great.
My go to is dicing a couple red onions and cooking until almost carmelized, then stir frying in a couple heads of garlic and an inch or 2 of ginger with a handful of chopped up chilis. Then I add in the curry powder or toasted spices, stir fry some more and add a couple large chopped tomatoes with a little water. Once the tomatoes are cooked I blend it all up with a whole lot of black pepper and chili powder, a little salt and the sauce is good to go. I coat the chicken in some spices and stir fry it in ghee before adding the sauce

I got really high on lsd a few months ago. Tried to make chilli with tomatoes from my garden. While I was listening to the grateful dead
Instead I accidentally made Indian food and it turned out amazing. All I did was throw a can of coconut cream in it after I figured out what I was even doing
For a while I didn't even know what I was making. There was no way in hell this was chilli anymore so i was thinking
Was just laughing playing in my kitchen. kept throwing stuff in it and i didn't know what this meal was anymore having the best time of my life ever
A hand full of trips I gravitated to be in my kitchen. One time I couldn't even get out of there because it was just so awesome that I couldn't leave.
It was seriously amazing curry after. I simmerd it all day into the night. Had even more stuff in it then the photo

Hell yeah Purple Sunset I have definitely ended up in the kitchen when I was on one.
Other times I've opened the fridge and thought the whole thing was preposterous! Like why the fuck do I have obscure mustard and who could fathom needing three types of miso paste but damn Ima get me some of that pineapple later
