What is a panang curry and how does it differ from other Thai curries?

Panang is a Thai-style curry known for its richer, slightly sweeter flavour compared to a green or red curry - it uses coconut cream rather than coconut milk, which makes the sauce thicker and more coating. Tommy's version adds tamarind for a gentle sourness, lemongrass and galangal for fragrance, and roasts the vegetables first so they hold their texture in the sauce rather than turning soft. It's a more complex flavour profile than most people expect from a vegetable curry.

Is Tommy's vegetable panang roti pie suitable for vegans?

Yes, this meal is fully vegan and vegetarian, as well as halal certified. The roti pastry contains wheat and soy, but there are no animal products in the filling or the casing. If you're looking for vegan meals delivered across Australia, FoodSt has a growing range made by home cooks - you can filter by dietary preference on the menu page.

How spicy is the vegetable panang roti pie?

It has a gentle warmth from the dried red chilli and spices, but panang curry is generally one of the milder Thai curries — the coconut cream softens the heat considerably. It's flavourful without being overpowering, which makes it a good entry point if you're newer to Southeast Asian cooking, or a reliable choice if you're cooking for people with different spice tolerances.

The curry that earned its own pastry.

Not every curry deserves to be a pie. This one does. Tommy roasts pumpkin, eggplant, potato and sweet potato until golden before they even meet the pan - then simmers them in coconut cream, tamarind, lemongrass, galangal and a careful blend of spices until the vegetables have soaked up everything around them. That's a panang curry done properly. The roti paratha casing - light, flaky, and nothing like standard pie pastry — pulls it together into something that feels genuinely new without trying to be clever about it.
