    Masaman Curry is another Thai Curry but the word massaman is not a native of Thailand, it seems to have been derived from the Malay word masam, which means, "sour". The flavoring for Massaman curry is called Massaman curry paste although ready-made pastes are now readily available but with all those artificial flavoring they are nothing in taste compared to homemade pastes prepared with fresh ingredients.

    Ingredients

    • 10 dried red chilies
    • 1 onion, roughly chopped
    • 10 - 12 cloves of garlic
    • 1 thumb size piece of ginger, chopped
    • 2 Tbsp cumin seeds
    • 4 Tbsp coriander seeds
    • 2 Tsp fennel seeds
    • 4 cloves
    • 1 Tbsp black peppercorns
    • 2 inch stock of cinnamon
    • ¼ Tsp grated nutmeg
    • Seeds of 2 brown cardamom
    • Rind of 1 lemon

    Directions

    1. For making paste, dry roast all the ingredients in a wok or pan for 5 minutes or till aroma is released from the spices.
    2. Grind all the roasted ingredients to a paste using 4 - 6 tbsp of water until smooth.
