This was my first time making Massaman curry. I researched from several sources and adjusted the recipe to suit my own taste. It does take a bit of time to make, but the delicious flavor is worth the effort. Give it a try!

Steps

2 hours

1

Place a pot over medium-high heat and pour in the light coconut milk. When it comes to a boil, add the beef and then the tamarind paste. The tamarind helps tenderize the beef. Simmer the beef for about 45 minutes to 1 hour until tender.
2

While waiting, peel and cut the potatoes into small pieces. Dice the onion into cubes.
3

In another pot over medium-high heat, gradually add the coconut cream. This step is for frying the curry paste. When the coconut cream starts to boil, add the Massaman curry paste and stir-fry until fragrant and well combined.
4

Add the bay leaves to the curry mixture, followed by the braised beef. Stir to combine and let it cook for a while.
5

Add the prepared potatoes to the pot and let it simmer until the potatoes are almost cooked.
6

Once the potatoes are cooked, add the diced onion.
7

Season with coconut sugar and fish sauce to taste.
8

Finally, add the roasted peanuts (you can use dry-roasted peanuts instead). Stir for a moment, turn off the heat, and serve the beef Massaman curry in a bowl.
