🇹🇭 Thailand recipe

Massaman Curry

A uniquely Thai curry with deep Persian and Indian influences, Massaman is the gentlest and most aromatic of the Thai curries. Slow-braised beef becomes meltingly tender in a coconut sauce enriched with roasted peanuts, potatoes, and warm spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and star anise.
