There are two main styles of Massaman curry: the southern version is more spiced and has a tangy, salty flavor, while the central version is sweeter. This recipe is a bit of a blend of both styles.

Steps

2 hours

1

Cut the chicken into medium pieces and rinse well with water.
2

Peel the onions and potatoes, then cut them into medium-sized pieces.
3

Sauté the chicken with garlic and shallots, adding a little salt and curry powder until the chicken is lightly golden.
4

In a pot, heat 1 cup (250 milliliters) of coconut milk, stirring until it starts to separate or bubble. Add the curry paste, star anise, bay leaves, and cinnamon stick, and stir-fry together.
5

In a separate pot, add the remaining 1 cup (250 milliliters) of coconut milk. Add the sautéed chicken, then the curry paste mixture, potatoes, and onions. Add enough water to just cover the ingredients.
6

Bring to a boil over medium heat. Season with salt, palm sugar, and a splash of tamarind paste to balance the flavors.
7

Check that the potatoes are cooked and the chicken is tender. Add the peanuts, stir, then turn off the heat and serve.
