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. This flavorful curry paste can be made with many of the spices you already have in your spice cabinet! Once you have the paste made you can create richly flavored curries using a variety of vegetables and meats. Try using this paste in my Thai Massaman Chicken & Vegetable Curry recipe!
