Red curry: dried chillies

Red curry (gaeng phet) takes its colour and spice base from dried red chillies. Galangal, lemongrass, garlic and coriander root balance the heat. Best known with chicken or beef; bamboo shoots and kaffir lime leaves are classic additions.

Methodology

The index is based on public sources: Wolt storefronts, restaurants' own websites, Google Maps ratings, Tripadvisor listings. Data collection date: 20 May 2026. Base version included (typically chicken, vegan when available). Prices include Wolt's delivery margin. Sample is 34 Thai restaurants in Helsinki; only restaurants where the dish appears as a main course are included. The value score combines rating and price index: same formula as the pad thai index.

Next release

The index is compiled annually. The summer 2027 release expands to 10 anchor dishes across six cities (Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Tampere, Turku, Oulu).
