Thai MASSAMAN BEEF Curry - Inspired By POO Of JAMIE OLIVER's Food Tube

The Massaman curry base is very unique spices like fennel, cumin, coriander, cloves, cardamoms, cinnamon and black peppercorns are pounder together with the usual suspects, red chillies, shallots, lemongrass, ginger and galangal. And of course its finished off with fish sauce and shrimp paste. If you like to make a vegetarian or vegan version of the paste substitute light soya and spicy bean paste for the fish sauce and shrimp paste. Ive used this to make a delicious Thai Massaman Noodle Salad and in a Peanut sauce and now Im going to simmer chunks of meat in this blend of spices and creamy Coconut milk. This curry is hearty, cooked together with potatoes, studded with peanuts and served with some Jasmine rice, you gotta try it.
