Cómo preparar

Heat the vegetable oil in a wide, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the Massaman curry paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant and slightly darkened.

Add the sliced onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often, until it begins to soften. Add the chicken and sear for 4 minutes, turning so the pieces are coated and lightly colored on the outside.

Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock, then add the potatoes, tamarind concentrate, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and bring the liquid just to a simmer.

Reduce the heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring twice, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the chicken reaches 74°C at the thickest piece.

Stir in 40 g of the roasted peanuts and simmer uncovered for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust with a little more fish sauce or tamarind if needed; the sauce should be creamy, savory, gently sweet, and tangy.

Remove the pan from the heat and rest the curry for 5 minutes. Serve with the remaining roasted peanuts and lime wedges.

Por qué funciona esta receta

Massaman balances creamy coconut milk, aromatic curry paste, sweet onion, tangy tamarind, and salty fish sauce. Potatoes absorb the fragrant sauce while peanuts add a welcome toasted crunch.
