Recipe By Slurrp

The flavourful Massaman cury is a popular curry from Thailand. Although Thai cuisine is well-known for its green and red thai curries, it is this Massaman curry which has interesting origins and flavours. It is believed that the curry is a part of Indo-Malay fusion. The use of certain spices like nutmeg, cumin and cloves in this curry are staple to India. On the other hand, the coconut-milk base is classic Thai preparation. The word Massaman comes from the word Mussalman which means Muslim in Hindi. This community forms a large part of the region and in fact, the traditional aversion to pork for this curry is reflective of its association with India. The spread of this curry happened when the Persian merchants travelled in the 17th century. Bunang's noble family kitchen is credited with its popularity in Thailand. This Massaman Chicken Curry is a major export from Thailand and the balance of heat with other flavours makes it a delicious dish. Ideal for a weeknight meal Massam Chicken Curry is made with chicken thighs, lemongrass, shallots, dry, red chillies and aromatic spices. Treat your taste buds and make a perfect dinner with a side of steamed rice.

STEP 7.Add the paste that you just made and keep stirring and mixing it well with the oil to get the grassy flavour. Turn the flame down to medium and keep stirring them.
STEP 8.As the paste is cooking, it will start forming clumps so now add the chicken pieces. If needed, you can add 1tbsp oil.
STEP 9.Mix the chicken well with the paste and let it cook from both sides. Keep mixing so that the paste doesn’t burn.
