Massaman Curry
มัสมั่น
Mild
Massaman Curry is Thailand's richest and mildest curry, influenced by Persian and Malay spice trade routes. Slow-cooked with potatoes, onions, and roasted peanuts in a thick coconut milk gravy, it's deeply comforting.
Key Ingredients
- massaman paste
- coconut milk
- potatoes
- roasted peanuts
- cardamom
Where to Try It
Southern Thai restaurants and Muslim-owned eateries in Bangkok's Bang Rak district.
Tips
- Ask for beef or lamb for the most traditional version — the long braising time makes the meat incredibly tender.
- The sauce is perfect for mopping up with roti bread instead of rice.
