The "massaman" his regular food with a recipe called Muslims, but not only Muslims who can try it, you can try this food. taste of food is very tasty, usually served with rice it. You definitely want to try it!!

follow the instructions below:

Ingredients :

about 1 pound chicken (you can also use pork or beef), cut into the usual "bite sized pieces" 

3 cups of coconut milk. 

2 tablespoons roasted peanuts (unsalted) 

5 peeled, but whole, small onions. 

5 small potatoes, peeled and partly boiled. 

3 bay leaves,  

5 cardamom seeds

a small piece of roasted cinnamon stick

2 tablespoons palm sugar

1 tablespoon tamarind concentrate mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water

3 tablespoon lime juice 

2-3 tablespoons Masaman curry paste. 

about 1-3 teaspoons crushed garlic. (optional) 

Method :

Peel potatoes, boil them partly in a cooking pot for 10-15 minutes, and cut in 1 to 2-inch pieces.

Allow the coconut milk to separate and you will have about two cups of thick "cream" and one cup of

thin "milk". In a small saucepan bring the milk to a simmer and add the chicken or pork. If you are

using beef you will need another two cups of milk. Simmer the meat until it begins to become tender

(beef takes longer, hence the additional milk). 

Put the coconut cream in a wok and bring to a boil, add the massaman paste and "stir fry" until the

flavor is brought out and maximized. Add the remaining cream and curry paste to the meat.  

Add the peanuts. Taste and adjust the flavor until it is (just) sweet (by adding sugar), sour and salty

(by adding tamarind juice, lime juice and fish sauce).  

Add the remaining ingredients and cook until cooked. 

Note : the potatoes used in Thailand for this dish are a yellow fleshed sweet potato of the type sometimes

called a yam in the US. Western style potatoes can be used, but absorb less of the sauce and flavor.

The potatoes act as a "moderator" to reduce the heat of the curry, and should not be left out. 

 double the amount of potato and serve it alone. 

Accompany it with a dressed green salad and a bowl of "ajad" (pickled cucumbers--see recipe below). The

traditional Thai table also offers chilis in fish sauce chilis in vinegar, and ground chilli,sugar.

tries congratulations and enjoy this food. and give your comments.
