At our home, we all love fresh fragrant Thai curries and it is the only cuisine that everyone in my family agrees upon. I love how we can whip up dinner or lunch in very little time if we have done some prep work in advance.
My husband and I have this habit of making large batches of Thai curry pastes and we keep them in different one-serving size containers in the freezer. It always comes in handy in making dinners or lunches when we don't have much time or we simply want to relax and enjoy a good homemade dinner while binge-watching Netflix.
Thai Red Curry and Thai Green Curry are two of the staples in my freezer and it would not be an exaggeration to say that till date, we have not used any store bought curry paste. We love how fragrant and fresh these Thai curry pastes feel when you take a bite into the luscious curry.
For a long time, I wanted to make Veg Massaman Curry, but somehow we always ended up making Red Curry. So today, when I wanted to whip up an easy one pot curry, I opted for Thai Massaman Curry.
I am sharing the link of my home made thai red curry paste in case you want to make it .
What is Massaman Curry?
Massaman Curry is a fragrant Thai curry and in simple words, I would describe it as Indian and Thai flavors combined in a coconut-based curry. It's spicy, sweet, fragrant, and silky at the same time and leaves a wonderful sensation on your tongue when you taste it.
