Our new Thai takeaway makes an awesome massaman curry which inspired me to try making my own.
As with all my recipes, I try to balance authenticity with easy to access ingredients and simplicity in preparation. Most of these ingredients should be available in your local supermarket. The only tricky ingredient might be the lemongrass in the curry paste.
For cooking the dish, I used a similar approach to the beef rendang recipe – where the meat and vegetables can be cooked all at once in the Thermomix.
