Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) beef or chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups (480ml) coconut milk
- 2-3 tbsp massaman curry paste
- 1-2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1-2 tbsp palm sugar
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1-2 potatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup (120ml) roasted peanuts
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2-3 cardamom pods
- 2-3 bay leaves
- 1 tsp tamarind paste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Directions:
In a large pot or wok, heat up 1 cup (240ml) of coconut milk over medium-high heat until it begins to boil.
Add the massaman curry paste to the pot and stir until the paste is mixed with the coconut milk. Cook for a minute or two until fragrant.
Add the meat to the pot and stir until the meat is coated in the curry paste.
Add the remaining coconut milk, fish sauce, palm sugar, onion, potatoes, peanuts, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and bay leaves to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
Add the tamarind paste to the pot and stir to combine.
Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning as needed with more fish sauce or palm sugar.
Serve the curry over steamed rice and garnish with fresh cilantro.
