massaman curry
Spiced Thai braise
Massaman curry is a Thai curry distinguished by its mild, sweet-savory flavor and aromatic spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and cumin—influences from Persian and Indian cuisine.
Typically made with coconut milk, potatoes, peanuts, and meat (often beef or chicken), it's richer and less fiery than most Thai curries: The massaman curry came with tender chunks of beef and whole roasted peanuts.
