Massaman curry boasts a complex, rich flavor profile that is both sweet and savory, with warming spices and a creamy coconut milk base.
The flavor profile is driven by a combination of Thai chili peppers, galangal, lemongrass, coriander, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, bay leaves, and often star anise. These spices create a warm, aromatic foundation. Coconut milk adds richness and sweetness, while tamarind paste provides a touch of sourness. Palm sugar contributes sweetness. The potatoes, onions, and peanuts contribute to the dish's hearty texture and nutty flavor. Protein, such as chicken, beef, tofu, or shrimp, adds a savory element to balance the sweet and spice notes.

Spice Blending
Roasting the whole spices before grinding them enhances their aroma and flavor complexity. Use fresh spices whenever possible.
Coconut Milk
Use full-fat coconut milk for the richest and creamiest results. The initial extraction of coconut milk is best for the base, while the thicker second extraction is ideal for finishing the dish.
Tamarind Paste
Adjust the amount of tamarind paste to achieve the desired balance of sweet and sour. Taste as you go and add more if needed.
Peanut Preparation
Use roasted, unsalted peanuts for the best flavor and texture. Some recipes call for grinding the peanuts into a paste, while others use them whole.
