Basic Matsaman Curry Recipe Using Thai Matsaman Curry Paste

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons Authentic Thai Matsaman Curry Paste
• coconut milk to taste
• 450 beef, cut into chunks (or chicken, lamb, or tofu for a vegetarian option)
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 large carrot, sliced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup roasted peanuts
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce (or soy sauce for a vegetarian option)
• 1 tablespoon tamarind paste (or juice of 1 lime as a substitute)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 3-4 whole cardamom pods (optional)
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• Cooked jasmine rice (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Gather all your ingredients and chop the beef and vegetables.
2. Cook the Curry Paste:
   • In a large pot or wok, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of Authentic Thai Matsaman Curry Paste and cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant.
3. Add the Coconut Milk:
   • Gradually add the coconut milk, stirring well to combine with the curry paste. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Cook the Beef:
   • Add the beef chunks to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the beef is browned on all sides.
5. Add Vegetables and Spices:
   • Add the cubed potatoes, sliced carrot, and chopped onion to the pot. Stir in the roasted peanuts, cinnamon stick, and cardamom pods (if using). Pour in enough water to just cover the ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.
6. Add Seasonings:
   • Stir in the fish sauce, tamarind paste (or lime juice), and sugar. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
