  1. 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!!

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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!
