Massaman, pronounced [mát.sā.màn], is a relatively mild curry dish blending Persian and Thai cuisine. The name came from “Mussulman” or a form of the word Muslim. Use my curry recipe below or create your own variations using whatever vegetables and meat you have on hand. You'll need to first make a batch of Thai Massaman Curry Paste for this recipe, or use a good quality store bought paste.
