Beef Massaman Curry blends all the flavors of the warm spices of the Middle East with the traditional flavors of Thai cuisine. This hearty curry is characterized by sweet potato, tender peanuts, and chunks of beef that have been slow-cooked to perfection in a rich and aromatic sauce made with coconut cream, Massaman curry paste, tamarind, and a hint of coconut sugar.

Author's Notes

Makes 6-8 portions. The amount of the sugar, tamarind paste, and fish sauce might vary depending on how salty your massaman curry paste is, so make sure you taste the curry before adding seasoning and adjust the taste according to your preference. For the ideal massaman curry, you should look for sweetness, followed by saltiness and a bit of sourness.
