Traditional Massaman curry is a Thai curry that's rich but relatively mild heat-wise. It contains lots of spices -which can vary from curry to curry, plus meat, potatoes and coconut cream or milk. I absolutely love Massaman - the beef version, my Lamb Massaman Curry Recipe and I also make one with a whole chicken.
To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have massaman beef curry using 11 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Massaman Beef Curry:
- Make ready 1 pack (250 g) cubed chuck beef or stewing beef cut into long strips
- Make ready 3 tablespoons Massaman curry paste
- Take 4-5 shallots, peeled
- Make ready 1 onion chopped in big chunks
- Get 1 can coconut milk
- Take 2-3 tbsp fish sauce
- Get 2-3 grated palm sugar (or brown sugar)
- Prepare 2 tbsp tamarind
- Make ready 1 medium-sized potato, peeled and cut into chunks
- Take 4-5 tablespoons unsalted roasted peanuts (can use cashew nut if prefer)
- Prepare 2 star anise
It's a homemade recipe with no need for any store-bought curry paste or powder. The ingredient list may seem long, but the sauce is quite easy to make. Just toss all sauce ingredients into the curry pot as you prepare them, and simmer together with the meat. It's most commonly made with beef.
Steps to make Massaman Beef Curry:
- In a big saucepan, add about 2-3 tbsp coconut milk (use the thick part) and wait until coconut milk start bubbling. Add beef in and stir for 2-3 min.
- Add star anise and Massaman curry in and mix in well.
- Add onion, in and leave it to cook for about 30 min then add potato and the rest of your coconut milk in.
- Seasoning with fishsauce, palm sugar, tamarind. Give it a taste it should be sweet, salty and a little sour and nutty. Add some cashew nuts or peanuts and stir well. Leave it to cook for about another 25 min or until potatoes cooked. Add a little bit of water if needed too.
- Perfectly serve with thai jasmine rice.
- For oven braised method: Coat beef in 1 tablespoon of oil, star anise and massaman curry paste, mix well. You can braise your beef in the oven for about an hour. Once your beef in oven for 45 min - an hour put coconut milk in saucepan, then curry paste and mix well then add your beef that have been braised in the oven in the. Add onion, fishsauce, tamarind paste, palm sugar and the rest of coconut milk in. Mix well.
Though it will work fine with any slow cooking cut of beef, I find that beef chuck has the ideal amount of fat and fibre texture for this curry. Massaman is a traditional Thai dish that's atypically (for Thai food) not spicy. Instead, this curry features spices associated with Indian cooking, like cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, cumin, bay leaves, mace and more. Massaman curry paste is chock-full of fragrant spices, from coriander and cumin to cardamom and cinnamon, and gives the beef-and-potato stew a rich flavor base. Massaman curry can be made with chicken, beef, or lamb (just check out my Thai Lamb Massaman).
