Very nice, three children all ate it happily. Will make again.
Was delicious, will be making it again for sure. All my 3 teenagers and huby loved it, bonus!!
Delicious, could have added more meat as there was lots of sauce.
This is the best Massaman Curry I have ever had and is now a favourite in our house . I encourage everyone to try it and it’s so easy to prepare …..YUM!!
This recipe was fabulous..i didnt brown meat first just threw it all in and cooked on low for 8 hours. Used 1 tin of maesri massaman paste and this made a perfect mild curry if you dont like it too hot! Might use extra paste next time for a spicier version. Yum this will definitely be my new go to recipe.
Any alternative to palm sugar please ?
I love massaman & had high hopes but though I used slightly less curry paste & only 3 star anise the sauce was really strong & not in a good way husband & kids wouldn’t eat it. Not sure what I did wrong followed recipe apart from reducing two things above.
Delicious, family loved it!!
I did buy palm sugar that didn’t come in cubes and was told between a tsp and tbsp (depending on taste) is a good amount…I ended up using a tsp, could have used a little more!
Absolutely amazing.
Will be a favourite in my house.
