About this

Massaman curry, a Thai dish with Muslim influences from southern Thailand, features a mild, nutty coconut-based sauce simmered with tender beef or chicken, potatoes, peanuts, onions, and warming spices like cinnamon, cardamom, tamarind, and curry paste. Often ranked among the world's best curries, it originated in the 17th century from Persian and Indian traders, blending savory depth with subtle sweetness. In Thailand, try it at street stalls or markets like Bangkok's Chatuchak for an authentic plate served with rice.
