Massaman Beef Curry

Ingredients

• 1½ lb Beef, cubed
• 3 tbsp massaman curry paste
• 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
• 2 potatoes, chunked
• 1 onion, wedged
• ½ cup roasted peanuts
• 1 tbsp fish sauce + 1 tbsp tamarind + 1 tbsp palm sugar
• Jasmine rice

Method

1. Fry the curry paste in the thick top-of-the-can coconut cream until fragrant and split.
2. Add the Beef to coat, then the rest of the coconut milk, potatoes, onion, and peanuts. Simmer gently 35 minutes until the Beef is tender.
3. Balance the sauce with fish sauce, tamarind, and palm sugar — massaman rides a salty-sweet-sour line.
4. Serve over jasmine rice with extra peanuts.
