A popular dish that was born from Persian influences mixed with Thai flavours, this is a rich but mild curry featuring tender beef, potatoes and crushed peanuts with a coconut and tangy tamarind sauce. Normally cooked for hours in a steel pot, we’ve captured the essence of this travellers’ favourite by preparing the fiddly tamarind and grinding down the galangal and lemongrass and blending it into our signature Massaman paste. A fragrant but hearty curry for any night of the week.

1.
Cook the rice and potatoes
Cook the rice according to pack instructions.
Boil the potatoes until tender, then drain. While the potatoes and rice cook, start on Step 2.

2.
Meanwhile, sear the beef
Heat a little oil in a pan over high heat. Place the beef slices in the pan on a single layer (in batches if needed). Sear them quickly so they colour on each side before removing from the pan and keeping aside.

3.
Create the curry base
Reduce the heat to medium, add the onion and fry for 1 min.
Add the MASSAMAN PASTE and fry for 1 min then pour in the coconut milk. Mix well and cook for 2 mins.
-
4.
Add the vegetables
Add the GINGER CHICKEN STOCK pot and the TAMARIND. Mix well and bring it to a gentle boil.
Add the green beans and half of the peanuts (if using), then let it cook over a medium heat for 3 mins.
Add the potatoes and the beef and let it cook for 2 more mins.

Add 1-2 tsps sugar to taste, then serve the curry over rice with more crushed peanuts scattered on top.

Delicious! We used peanut butter instead of ground peanuts and it really added to the sauce. Yummy x

A bit mild for my taste. The beef didn't absorb the flavours very well.

Loved this. So many of the meals are chicken nice to have beef. Put a little more chilli in it to spice it up
Heather - Oct 14, 2019
Really tasty, add a few extra potatoes and skip the rice. Smash the potatoes into the sauce to soak it up!
Michelle - Oct 08, 2019
Really tasty, cooked it a bit longer to reduce the sauce as pretty thin, but so nice. Forgot to buy peanuts so used tablespoon of peanut butter.. Delicious
Hayley - Oct 07, 2019

Diana - Oct 01, 2019
Absolutely delicious!!!
Haley - Oct 01, 2019
Lovely, would def order again. Thank you
Will - Sep 30, 2019
The only reason for the 3 stars is because it was quite expensive to buy the meat and so I bought cheaper meat and it was tough and awful. My fault completely though and so will try it again and re-rate it. The sauce was very good though
linda - Sep 29, 2019
Super tasty, will most definitely order this again
Sam - Sep 29, 2019
Great tasting
Emma - Sep 28, 2019
I ordered the one for 4 people but it was really bland, so you couldn't taste the massamam paste with only a tin of coconut milk. I think there was only enough pasta for 2 people
Paula - Sep 28, 2019
Delicious
Kerry - Sep 27, 2019
Ok not a favourite
Michelle - Sep 26, 2019
Powdery after taste with not much flavour going on at all. Tasted more like a packet mix thrown over beef, did not like at all.
Dean - Sep 25, 2019
Nice dish. Maybe not my favourite so far
Lucky - Sep 25, 2019
Delicious but the meat needs cooking a little longer
