Massaman Curry

This is a Curry from the South of Thailand. It is mild compared to other Curries. Some call it a Muslim Curry.

As a Christmas gift I have got a Thai Curry Box from ASIASTREETFOOD.com They offer different ingredient boxes to cook food from some Asian countries. I was looking for Korean food originally, but the ingredients in that box were already at home. Just missing two items. Since I could order them as single items, I was no longer interested in the Korean box. I checked the other boxes and was hooked on the Thai box.

Thai kitchen is not high on my cooking radar. That box is the chance to get to know the Thai food better. Needless to say, I bought their cookbook too.

Recipe for 2:

600 g slice of beef shank, 2 shallot, 2 potatoes, 1 tsp coconut oil

50 g Massaman curry paste, 250 g organic coconut cream, 400 ml water, 

2 tbsp fish sauce, 2 tsp coconut flower sugar, 1 lime, 2 tbsp unsalted roasted peanuts

1 cup Jasmine rice.

Use a wide pot for the beef shank slice to sit flat in. Open the coconut milk and spoon the solid part in the pot. Add coconut oil. Hest up and get the paste in. Cook it until it loosens and add the rest of the coconut milk and water. Place the beef in and make sure it is mostly covered. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cook for 90 min. 

Peel onion and potatoes and cut them up. After 90 min, add both to the pot and cook for 25 min. Now add fish sauce, sugar and lime and finish with peanuts.

Serve with rice.
