Five Thai curries at Ja Thai: red, green, yellow, massaman and paneng

Choosing a curry near Slussen? On the Ja Thai menu, red, yellow and green curry are dishes 9, 10 and 11. Massaman and paneng are dishes 12 and 13. The menu lists coconut milk in all five. The curry itself and the mix of vegetables and other ingredients are what set them apart.

Red, green and yellow curry

9. Red curry. The menu lists bamboo shoots, bell peppers, courgette, leek, lime leaves and basil. It is a different dish from the red curry stir-fry, which is number 19.

11. Green curry. It also comes with bamboo shoots, courgette, leek, bell peppers, lime leaves and basil. Here, green rather than red curry is the main difference between dishes 11 and 9. The colour identifies the curry; it does not tell you exactly how hot it will taste to you.

10. Yellow curry. This one is listed with pineapple, potatoes, roasted onion, carrots, cauliflower and bell peppers. The menu says it can be prepared vegan. Ask the staff to confirm the preparation when you order.

Massaman and paneng

12. Massaman curry. The menu lists coconut milk, potatoes, pineapple, carrots, cauliflower, bell peppers and peanuts. It shares several ingredients with yellow curry, but peanuts are a clear difference. If you have an allergy, tell the staff before ordering and ask about both ingredients and preparation.

13. Paneng curry. This dish is listed with coconut milk, carrots, cauliflower, bell peppers, lime leaves and basil. It shares lime leaves and basil with red and green curry, with a different mix of vegetables. Paneng stir-fry is a separate dish, number 20.

Which curry is the hottest?

The menu does not give all five dishes a heat rating. If you prefer mild or extra hot food, tell the staff what you like and ask what can be adjusted. Choosing vegetables or tofu does not establish what is in the whole sauce, so ask the staff if you need a vegetarian or vegan dish.
