  • 4 ounces massaman curry paste
  • 2 1/2 pounds chicken pieces (preferably flat, like thighs or boneless breasts)

How To Make chicken massaman curry

  • Step 1
    Prepare rice according to package directions.
  • Step 2
    Scoop the cream from the top 3/4 cup of the coconut milk and put it in a large heavy bottom pot along with the curry paste. Heat until bubbly and the fat separates from the coconut.
  • Step 3
    Add the chicken and stir to coat with the curry paste. Add remaining coconut milk and enough water to just cover the meat.
  • Step 4
    Bring to a boil, then simmer covered until the meat
  • Step 5
    is almost tender (probably an hour for chicken). Add potatoes and onions with about 2 tablespoons of fish sauce. Cook until vegetables are tender.
  • Step 6
    Season with tamarind, sugar, and fish sauce until you achieve the desired balance.
  • Step 7
    Add peanuts and serve over Jasmine rice.
