Cultured Palate: Dishes from Thailand
| May 3, 2017
Massaman Curry
Massaman curry is a dish that was brought to Thailand by Muslim immigrants, and is a deeply flavorful but overall quite mild curry dish. The spices of massaman curry are a little different than the typical Thai dish because instead of spices like galangal and lemongrass, cardamom, cloves, and bay (among others) are used. This reflects its Middle-Eastern origin. Massaman curry can be made with any type of meat (except for pork, which is not eaten by Muslims), and potatoes. Like many curries, it is traditionally served with rice.
