Beef Massaman curry (Thai: แกงมัสมั่น, RTGS: kaeng matsaman, IPA: [kɛːŋ mát.sa.màn]) is a rich, relatively mild Thai curry that is an interpretation of a Persian dish.

Massaman or matsaman is not a native Thai word. It is generally thought to refer to the Muslims with earlier writers from the mid-19th century calling the dish "Mussulman curry"; Mussulman being an archaic form of the word Muslim.

Serving suggestions

Garnish with lime wedges, chopped peanuts and coriander leaves. Serve with plain boiled rice.

Variations

Turn it fruity: I chopped up a few pineapple rings, left over from making Chicken satay and added at the start of the cooking stage and also a little pineapple juice together with a handful of raisins. Finally I added a chopped up banana but only at the very end of the cooking process, just long enough for them to warm up. This is probably not authentic, but it's nice to have a sweet curry now and then!

Peeling ginger

There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
