How to Make Masaman Curry

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of coriander, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference). Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk, 1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce (or soy sauce for vegetarian option), and 1 tablespoon of lime juice.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add 1 pound of cubed beef (or firm tofu for vegetarian option), 1 large potato, peeled and cubed, and 1 large carrot, peeled and sliced.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the beef (or tofu) is tender and the potatoes and carrots are cooked through. Stir occasionally.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro and 1/4 cup of roasted peanuts (optional) before serving.
  7. Serve hot with steamed rice. Garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
