This is my assignment, i will to show you what Thai delicious food and how to make it. The name is Massaman Curry Recipe.

Massaman curry is a unique type of curry amongst the various Thai curries because it is more like an Indian curry using mainly dried spices for seasoning. Chicken is the most popular meat in this curry in the West but beef, lamb or even mutton is more common in Thailand. This curry is considered to be rather mild as the heat of the chilies are mellowed with the addition of the dried spices, coconut milk, onions, potatoes and peanuts.

The word Massaman means “Muslim” named after the Muslim traders who brought spices such as cinnamon, cumin, cloves, nutmeg and turmeric from India and the Middle East. This curry originated from southern Thailand and is one of my favorite curries to eat when the weather is chilly. It’s a hearty, comforting meal that’s commonly made with beef, potatoes and Indian spices.
You can easily substitute beef with lamb, pork, chicken or tofu. This curry is traditionally mild in terms of spiciness and not made with carrots; however, I love my curries spicy and I think the carrots add a subtle sweetness. Try the recipe with carrots first and then try it without and see if you can taste the difference. This curry will also be a little thicker than typical Thai curries. If you think the curry is too thick, just add a few tablespoons of water to thin it out.

This is how to make Thai Massaman Curry Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb. beef shoulder (chuck roast) or stew beef, sliced
• 3 tablespoon whole raw peanuts
• 4 cup water
• 1 medium-sized potato, cut into 1 inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil (soybean, peanut or corn oil)
• 3-4 tablespoon Massaman curry paste, homemade or ready-made
• 1 1/2-2 cups coconut milk Chaokoh brand coconut milk
• 6 whole Thai cardamon seeds, cracked and dry roasted*
• 1 inch piece of cinnnamon stick, dry roasted*
• 2 tablespoon Thai fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon palm sugar
• 2 tablespoon tamarind water
• 1/4 large white onion, cut into pieces (or 12 peeled whole white pearl onions)

Preparation

1. Open the coconut milk and scoop the thick coconut cream from the top and set aside
2. Bring the 4 cup of water, beef and peanuts to boil, skimming the scum from the surface for about 5 minutes. Lower heat to medium and continue to cook at a low boil uncovered, for approximately one hour. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3. Separately, bring the potatoes to boil in enough water to cover for approximately 20 minutes until just slightly under-cooked. Drain and discard the potato water (or reserve to make your own sourdough mix!). Set the potatoes aside. While the beef is cooking you may make the homemade Massaman Curry Paste.
4. Heat oil in a large wok (or other large heavy bottom pan) over medium heat, add the curry paste and cook briefly until fragrant. Add the reserved coconut cream and fry until it begins to separate, stirring constantly. Add the boiled beef and peanuts in its broth and remainder of coconut milk, fish sauce, palm sugar, tamarind, cinnamon stick, potatoes and onion. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook 10 minutes.
5. Adjust seasoning with fish sauce, palm sugar and tamarind water to taste. Massaman curry should be slightly sweet with a very subtle sour note from the tamarind. Serve with pickled ginger or cucumber relish as condiments.
