BEEF MASSAMAN CURRY RECIPE

Even though it’s technically summer in South Africa, there are still occasional chilly wet evenings that call for hearty fare. If you’re craving something spicy, a basic curry can always do the trick. Why not experiment with a medley of flavours, as we do in South Africa? Originally from Southern Thailand and India, this beef massaman curry is a gently spicy dish. In most cases, chicken is used, although beef is always welcome.

BEEF MASSAMAN CURRY SUGGESTIONS

The use of cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg give it a unique taste along with peanuts which is vital to massaman curry. It also adds some texture and richness to the meal. Red curry paste may stand in for massaman curry paste when the latter is unavailable. But the handmade curry paste enriches the dish with additional flavour and provides peace of mind since it has no artificial ingredients.

When the summer rains fall, comfort food is on the menu. You have to try the flatbread with this Thai beef massaman curry—a it’s fantastic combination of flavours.
