What I Ate Today

Massaman curry is a dish from Thailand, with a Muslim origin. This was my first go at trying one out for myself, despite the duck version being a favourite of mine at Busaba Eathai. It’s a real hearty, rich warming curry being made up from roast peanuts, cinnamon, cardamom, sugar, tamarind and plenty of coconut milk.

Since we’ve had a fair amount of meat recently I opted for just a veggie version with only potatoes. It’s quite a liquidy curry so I served it in bowls and made some sticky-type rice (which I managed to sneak more sultanas into). It ended up being pretty much spot-on for what I was after – rich, sweet with just the right amount of kick. It probably could have done with slightly more floury potatoes to what we had, to soak up some more of the sauce. I’m sure they’ll be a next time.
