Description
ekhala’s Organic Lemongrass Turmeric Paste is built on two of Southeast Asia’s most beloved and health-revered ingredients: lemongrass and turmeric. Lemongrass — the fibrous, citrus-scented grass that underpins the fragrance of Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian cooking — provides a bright, fresh, slightly floral top note that makes every dish it touches feel clean and alive. Turmeric, the golden rhizome that gives this paste its deep amber-yellow colour, contributes a warm, earthy depth and a natural colour that makes even a simple bowl of rice look extraordinary.
Supporting them: galangal (the piney, peppery Thai ginger cousin that adds complexity) and shallots, which provides a hint of natural sweetness. The result is a paste that delivers bold Southeast Asian fragrance and depth, with zero chilli heat. It is the only Mekhala paste that works for everyone at the table — from curious toddlers to spice-intolerant grandparents.
This paste’s strength is its versatility. Lemongrass Turmeric is a genuinely all-purpose cooking base. It pairs beautifully with fish and seafood (lemongrass and fish are one of the great pairings of Southeast Asian cooking), with root vegetables, with lentils and legumes, with coconut-based soups, and with simple grain dishes where its golden colour and fragrance are as valuable as its flavor.
Like every Mekhala product, it contains no fish sauce, no shrimp paste, no MSG, and no artificial additives. Made in small batches in Chiang Mai in a reusable glass jar, by a female-led team committed to organic farming and ethical production.
