In reply to Susie Mackay. Hope you enjoy and it matches up! It's particularly worth trying to make your own paste (see the linked post for recipe).

Aww, this sounds so yum! Thai food is my favourite too. A local restaurant does such a great beef massaman, I'll have to see if I can compete with theirs and yours!

In reply to Jack. The peanuts are listed at the end of the ingredients and are added in step 4. Agree, they are definitely needed!

Although you show in the picture, I miss the roasted peanuts in the recipe. They are very important for the genuine taste...

In reply to Sarah. Sure - I normally put both metric and US measures since I'm originally from the UK myself, but must have missed on this one. So a cup is 240ml, which if you were to measure with tablespoons is about 16 tablespoons. So for this recipe, you'd use about 8tbsp (1/2 cup). If you have the time, I highly recommend making your own curry paste (see link above), but a good store-bought is also good. Enjoy!

Hi, really looking forward to trying this recipe for myself but I have no idea how much a cup of massaman paste is? I'm from the UK where we tend to use either tablespoons or grams, so any clue would be really appreciated.

If you could let me know (roughly) how much I would need for your recipe I would appreciate it so much, as it looks delicious! Thanks.

In reply to Emily. Generally I would say low, when it's a low and high option, but one thing is whether your low is more like "warm" - in some versions there is a setting to keep food warm, this is not what you want, but a low heat cook. Hope that makes sense and it works out for you!

In reply to Wade. Thanks for your comment. I appreciate this would traditionally be served with sticky rice, but sadly it's not particularly common outside the region. Ideally, absolutely serve it with sticky rice, which I love, but since this is intended to be accessible to a wider audience, rice in general is a more realistic description.

A Thai would not pour this over rice. Sticky rice is always served in a woven grass pot and eaten separate from the bowl of curry. My significant other is from a farming village East of Roi Et. Her family were subsistence farmers - main crop was brown sticky rice.

In reply to Carlee. Thanks, I know what you mean - I have that same feeling sometimes when I look at recipes! Just shows you need to try it soon. And yes, they were wonderful places to visit.

This sounds so flavorful and delicious! I wish I could sneak a bite off the screen. What a cool set of honeymoon destinations as well! Pinned as I would love to try this.

I've always thought of Massaman as a Muslim curry. The ingredients certainly reflect that. Asia has quite a large population of Islamic people now, doesn't it?
To me, this is the best of both worlds with both Middle Eastern and Thai influence. It sounds delightful!

Yum! I want to try this. I will have to be on the lookout for that Massaman curry paste.

In reply to Liz. Ha, it's true it wasn't ideal, but good food helped compensate a bit. This is a delicious reminder of the good part!

My legs are cramping up just thinking about an overseas flight without reclining seats! But having good food is a bonus! What a great curry!
