Description
Massaman curry paste
Massaman curry paste (Thai: Kaeng Masaman) is a Thai spice paste characterized by its mild spiciness and complex, warm aroma. It is considered the “king of curries” and combines Thai freshness with oriental influences.
Characteristics and taste
Aroma: The paste tastes slightly sweet, savory, and nutty.
Spiciness: Compared to red or green curry paste, it is significantly milder and usually only moderately spicy.
Special feature: It contains spices that are atypical for many other Thai curries and originate more from Indian or Persian cuisine.
Use
The paste forms the basis for the Massaman curry of the same name, which is traditionally prepared with beef or chicken, potatoes, and onions. It is usually first fried in oil or the solid part of coconut milk to release its full flavors.
