THAI MASAMAN CURRY (KANG MASAMAN)
This is an unusual Thai curry in that it contains peanuts and tamarind water and there are many variations. It is equally good prepared with chicken, rather than beef. King Rama V1 said in one of his poems, 'A lady who makes a good masaman will never be short of suitors'.

Steps:
- Put the steak and water in a pan and bring to the boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour or until the meat is tender.
- To make the curry paste: Put the chilies in a pan with the pepper, coriander, cumin, lemon grass, cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg. Cook over low heat until the mixture browns, stirring constantly. Transfer to a mortar and pound to a smooth paste. Add the remaining ingredients and pound the mixture until smooth.
- Remove the meat from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the coconut cream (coconut milk) to the liquid in the pan and heat gently, stirring frequently. Add the peanuts and a little nam pla. Boil the liquid until reduced in volume by one third. Add the prepared curry paste and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Return the meat to the pan and cover with a tight fitting lid. Bring back to the boil and continue cooking until the meat is very tender. Add the tamarind water with coconut sugar and nam pla to taste. Serve hot. Serves 6.
- NOTE: Tamarind.Also known as asam or assem. An acid flavoured fruit resembling a bean pod. Sold as dried tamarind pulp in blocks and is dark brown in colour. The dried tamarind pulp must be made into tamarind water before using:-Soak about 1 ounce tamarind pulp in 1 1/4 cups water for 5 to 10 minutes, then squeeze, strain and use the water. The longer left to soak, the stronger the flavour.
- Lime, lemon or mango juice or vinegar may be used as substitutes but the flavour of the finished dish but will not be the same. Tamarind paste should be refrigerated once opened, in which case it will keep indefinitely. Both tamarind pulp and tamarind paste are available at Asian stores.
- Terasi.Also known as balachan/blacan (Malaysian) Kapi (Thailand) and ngapi (Burma). A kind of pungent shrimp paste, used in very small quantities.
- Coconut sugar.Also known as palm sugar. Brown sugar may be substituted.
- Nam pla is Thailand fish sauce.
- Lemon grass, fresh lemon grass is available from Asian stores. The lower third of the stalk, the bulb like portion, is the part to use when a recipe specifies 'chopped or sliced lemon grass'. Alternatively, the whole stalk may be bruised and added during cooking, but then it should be removed before serving. Dried lemon grass is a good substitute:--Soak in hot water for about 2 hours before using then remove from the dish before serving. 1 Tablespoon dried lemon grass is roughly equivalent to 1 stalk fresh. Powdered lemon grass is also available.

CHICKEN MASSAMAN CURRY (KAENG MATSAMAN KAI) RECIPE

Steps:
- Spoon out about 3/4 cup of the creamy part of the coconut milk that rises to the top of the can and put that in a large heavy-bottomed pot along with the curry paste. Fry the mixture over medium-high heat until the coconut milk starts to turn oily.
- Add the chicken drumsticks to the pot along with the remaining coconut milk, sugar, fish sauce, tamarind pulp, and just enough water to barely cover the chicken.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat; immediately reduce the heat to medium to achieve a simmer. Let the chicken stew, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Add the potatoes, shallots, and dried spices (if used) to the pot. Add more water, if necessary to make sure all ingredients are submerged. Adjust the heat to maintain a simmer. Continue to cook, covered, until the chicken, potatoes, and shallots are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Stir in the peanuts (if used). Remove the curry from heat and let it cool down a bit before serving with steamed jasmine rice. This Recipe Appears In My Thai: Chicken Massaman Curry (Kaeng Matsaman Kai)

THAI MASAMAN CHICKEN (" GAENG MASAMAN GAI")
Compliments of the website importfood.com which states: "The "massaman" indicates that the recipe is of a "musselman" or Islamic origin. It probably owes something to early Portuguese influences, and is similar in concept to the "sour and hot" Goan-style vindaloo dishes. By Thai standards this is usually a fairly mild curry."

Steps:
- *Masaman curry paste is also available in Asian markets.
- Peel potatoes, parboil in a cooking pot for 10-15 minutes, then cut in 1 to 2-inch chunks.
- 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 coconut milk to a simmer and add the meat of your choice or tofu.
- NOTE: If you are using beef you will need another two cups of coconut milk. Simmer the meat until it begins to become tender because beef takes longer, hence the additional milk.
- Put the coconut cream in a wok and bring to almost a boil, add the massaman paste and "stir fry" until the flavor is maximized. Add the remaining cream and curry paste to the meat.
- Add the peanuts. Taste and adjust the flavor until it is a good balance of sweet (by adding sugar), sour and salty (by adding tamarind juice, lime juice and fish sauce).
- Add the remaining ingredients and cook until heated through.
- Serve with jasmine rice and ajad condiment.
- To prepare the ajad, combine the ingredients in a non-reactive bowl. Leave to stand overnight or prepare several hours in advance.

THAI BEEF MASSAMAN CURRY
This recipe is from Brigitte Hafner. When I made it I found I had to add quite a bit of water in the last 15 minutes to stop it getting too dry, just keep an eye on it and stir frequently. I used rump steak as that was all I had, but I marinaded it for 24 hours in a tenderising marinade and it was absolutely amazing. I made this in a nonstick wok so you may like to use more oil if you don't have one of these. Also, I used pre-cooked potatoes to make it a little faster and just reheated them in the curry (but they would taste nicer cooked in).

Steps:
- Trim meat of excess fat and sinew and cut into 2-3cm cubes.
- Heat the oil in a heavy-based pot and fry the onion until brown.
- Add the meat, season and continue to brown all over.
- From top of the coconut milk tin, scoop out the thick cream and add to the pot.
- Add curry paste, lower the heat and cook gently for about 5 minutes.
- Add the water, remaining coconut milk, cinnamon and bay leaves and simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
- Add the potatoes and cook for another 30 min or until the meat and potatoes are tender. You may need to add a little water as the curry is cooking.
- Season to taste with fish sauce, palm sugar (see TIP) and tamarind paste.
- Garnish with peanuts and coriander and serve with steamed basmati or jasmine rice.
- ---TIP---.
- Shaving palm sugar can be a pain, especially when the sugar is a little dried out. I buy it in discs, so now I just pop a disc in a cup with a little water (about 1 T) and microwave it on high for 30 seconds. Stir, and you will find it dissolves. You can then add this liquid to your curry to taste.
