massaman curry

Massaman curry is a rich, flavourful, and mildly spicy Thai curry. It is a fusion dish, combining foreign ingredients from three regions — Persia, India, and the Malay Archipelago — with ingredients more commonly used in native Thai cuisine to make massaman curry paste. The substance of the dish is usually based on chicken, potatoes, onions, and peanuts. The richness comes from the coconut milk and cream used as a base, as for many Thai curries.
