What is the name of the Thai roasted chili paste used as a condiment?

The Thai roasted chili paste used as a condiment is Nam Prik Pao. It is also transliterated Nam Phrik Phao and is often described in English as Thai chili jam or roasted chili paste.

Nam Prik Pao is made from roasted or fried chili peppers along with ingredients such as shallots, garlic, fermented shrimp, tamarind, fish sauce and palm sugar. The combination creates a flavour that is simultaneously smoky, sweet, salty, sour and spicy. Its thick, spreadable texture makes it different from many thinner Thai dipping sauces.

It may be served as a condiment or used as a cooking ingredient. Nam Prik Pao is especially familiar in Tom Yum, where a spoonful adds colour, sweetness and roasted depth, and it can also accompany seafood, meat, rice or toast. Nam Pla is fish sauce, Nam Jim is a broad term for dipping sauces, and Sriracha is a separate chili sauce associated with the town of Si Racha.
