How to Make Massaman Potato Curry

  1. **Make the Paste:** In a food processor, combine all paste ingredients (see below) and blend until a smooth paste forms.
  2. **Sauté Aromatics (Optional):** For a deeper flavor, lightly dry fry the cardamom seeds, cumin seeds, cloves, and coriander seeds in a pan for 2 minutes before adding them to the food processor.
  3. **Simmer Coconut Milk:** Heat 1 can (400ml) coconut milk in a large pan. Add 2 tablespoons of the prepared paste and stir to combine.
  4. **Add Potatoes:** Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and add 1 lb (450g) potatoes, peeled and cubed. Cook for 6 minutes.
  5. **Incorporate Remaining Ingredients:** Stir in ½ cup roasted peanuts, 1 small onion (finely chopped), 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  6. **Simmer to Perfection:** Continue to simmer until the potatoes are tender (about 15-20 minutes), stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. **Serve:** Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and serve hot with rice or naan bread.
