Massaman curry
When it comes to Thai curries, Massaman curry is often considered to be the mildest and most flavorful. This dish is made with a variety of spices including cumin, cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom, which give it a unique flavor that is both sweet and savory. The name “Massaman” is thought to be derived from the Muslim traders who introduced this dish to Thailand in the 17th century.
While the exact origins of Massaman curry are unknown, it is thought to have originated in the Southern region of Thailand. This curry was originally made with beef or chicken, but over time, the dish has evolved to include a variety of different meats and vegetables.
Massaman curry is typically served with steamed rice, but it can also be enjoyed on its own. If you’re looking for a more traditional Thai curry, Massaman curry is a great option.
Advice
Making massaman curry is a great way to make a flavorful and comforting dish. When making the curry, it is important to use the freshest ingredients you can find. Start by prepping all the vegetables and proteins you will be using, such as potatoes, onions, garlic, and chicken or beef. To make the curry paste, you will need roasted peanuts, cardamom, cloves, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon. Once the vegetables and proteins are prepped, heat up some oil in a saucepan and add the curry paste. Let the paste cook until fragrant before adding the vegetables and proteins. Finally, add coconut milk and simmer the curry until everything is cooked through. Serve with steamed rice and enjoy!
