Massaman Thai Curry Paste
Watch how to cook a Mae Jum curry!
The Thai Massaman curry paste creates a dish that is full of flavour, extracting from ingredients such as cardamom, cinnamon and star anise. Thai Massaman curry paste has the least amount of chilli in the selection of Mae Jum pastes, providing a mild but flavoursome Thai curry.
This dish is ideal for stewing and slow-cooking as it can extract the true flavours from the herbs and spices used in the paste to create the best authentic Thai Massaman curry. The paste is so full of flavour that one pack is all you need for 8 servings. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians too!
How it’s made
The Thai Massaman curry paste is similar to Panang, but with additional spices like mace, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves. This curry has extra layers of flavour and can also be cooked with roasted peanuts for an extra nutty flavour.
The inclusion of more spices and peanuts makes the Massman curry uncommon in most traditional Thai curries, this is because of its different origins and influences. This curry is delicious with meat such as beef, lamb and chicken!
Origin & Type
Massaman is not a native Thai word, and there are many different theories of where it originates from. Once you have tasted massaman you will realise that it is very different from the other Thai curries and has a more Indian feel to it. That is because it uses more spices than fresh herbs.
One such theory dates back to the 19th century, where it is thought to represent “Muslin Man” curry as in the 17th century there was much trade between the court of Ayutthaya, the old capital of Thailand, and the Persian merchant brings products from the middle east. Other theories point to a southern Thai recipe influenced by Malaysia and the word Masam which means “sour”
