Very nice. Put peanuts, red chilli & coriander on top. All enjoyed and would definately make again.
Simply Divine. Modified recipe as follows: 1x 400ml of ea coconut cream & milk, added half cup beef stock, 2 cinnamon sticks, 3tbsp brown sugar, 2tbsp fish sauce. Made a cornflour slurry with 1tbsp each water & cornflourvto thicken. Cooked on low for 8hrs Delish!
loved it used blade steaks as that was all I had
made enough for another meal as well ?
was delicious
I liked this recipe because of its simple, tasty ingredients. The aroma while cooking was divine. I only had 1 can of coconut cream, so that’s what I used. I also used ground spices, again because that’s what I had on hand. I did use the Aldi Massaman paste as suggested. I think I might have cooked it for a bit too long (9.5 hrs), as the potatoes started to break down, so I wouldn’t cook for longer than the suggested time if I were to make this again. Thanks for sharing this recipe Kym ?
My 1st Slowcookercentral attempt. Fairly tasty and I added an extra x 3 tblsps of Fish Sauce! I did use the Aldi brand paste & when it’s all gone I’ll try the Ayam brand. Very happy with the taste overall as I was serving it to visitors who hadn’t heard of it…… they enjoyed.
This massaman beef curry is amazing in taste and flavour. Now l can cook it anytime!
Just delicious! I didn’t have (or couldn’t find) any cardamom pods so I used ground cardamom instead. Completely forgot to add the lime juice at the end; this would have just added a bit of extra zing.
So easy to prepare with ingredients I had on hand.
Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback Linda 🙂
Made this as per recipe , except I used Maesri paste from Woolies. It is even better than takeaway, it’s that good!
Thanks for your wonderful feedback Frances 🙂
Tender, melt in your mouth beef with subtle aromatic Thai spices, rich gravy goodness.
Cheaper making it yourself, and beats take away version any day!
Variations:
I used 1KG lean beef cubes, 800ml coconut cream (for extra sauce), 1/2tsp extra Thai red curry paste (Aldi brand)
SC low for 8HRs👌
I love extra saucy too! 🙂
