By submitting this form, you consent to receive emails from Minstry of Curry For many years I have been making Thai masaman curry on a stovetop using my friend Punitha’s recipe. The best homemade curry with a perfect combination of spices, chunks of creamy potatoes, and tender, fall-apart chicken. The addition of whole cashews adds a luxurious nutty taste resulting in a better-than-restaurant curry. I am excited to share this easier take on the original recipe using Instant Pot that delivers the same authentic flavors with half the effort. This recipe not only makes the most tender chicken curry but it’s also pretty hands-off. The best part is that you can cook Jasmine rice along with the curry, using the pot-in-pot method. A perfect meal that is quick and easy for busy weeknights.
What is Massaman Curry?
A fusion of Thai and Indian Curries, Massaman curry uses Indian spices such as cumin, coriander, and cardamom incorporated in a spice paste with the addition of lemon grass and galangal also known as Thai ginger or Siamese ginger which adds sharp citrusy flavors. Peanuts or cashews are often added to the curry to add nutty, luxurious flavors. Massaman Curry can be prepared with chicken, beef, lamb, or even a vegetarian version.
Serving
Serve hot massaman curry with steamed jasmine rice.
Storing
The flavors of this curry also develop over time, so go ahead and make a double batch so you have lots of leftovers to enjoy. Curry can be refrigerated for 3 to 4 days. To reheat simply microwave or reheat on the stovetop.
