Phanaeng curry, or penang curry, (Thai: พะแนง, RTGS: phanaeng, IPA: [pʰā.nɛ̄ːŋ]) is a type of Thai curry that is milder than other Thai curries. It traditionally includes dried chili peppers, galangal, lemongrass, coriander root, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, garlic, and salt, and sometimes also shallots, peanuts, and shrimp paste. A popular phanaeng curry dish is beef phanaeng, which is a dish based on beef in a curry sauce. The traditional dish contains beef cut in thin strips, kaffir lime leaves, coconut milk, phanaeng curry paste, palm sugar and fish sauce. The dish typically contains thick coconut milk and will have very little other liquids added (hence a dry curry). For vegetarians, tofu can be used in place of beef.
Phanaeng is one of the Penang islands located in Malaysia. Penang is called Phanaeng in Southern Thailand's dialect. In Penang, this dish is mostly served by the Malay and Baba Peranakan Penang. They also add the small round aubergine to the dish.
