Ok for a base recipe, but I'm trying to find Massaman like my favorite restaurants and this isn't quite there. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Thai food to get there.

Made today. Came out really good. So delicious. Added some onions and red pepper and used sweet potatoes. Taste just like the restaurants. Very happy with this dish!

I love this recipe although I altered it quite a bit over time. I normally double the recipe, substitute the fish sauce with worchestershire sauce, and make my own tamarind paste (puree dried apricots, prunes, and dried dates with enough lemon juice to make a thick paste- I end up putting about a cup of this in there). I also use sweet potato instead of white and put some onions slices in it after the potatos have gotten less firm, maybe when there's about 15 minutes left. Also I add yellow curry (about 2 tablespoons) at this point as well. i also add a little more peanut butter than it calls for and usually have to add a half can extra coconut milk. Love it!

I thought the flavor was very good, but a little too intense. The second time I made this I added extra coconut milk as others suggested and halved the amount of curry paste and tamarind paste.

I'm not totally disapointed but if I make it again, I won't do the peanut butter. I felt like the taste of the peanut butter was too much and it also made the curry too thick for me. Overall it was so, so. The only change I made was using Tofu instead of chicken

My husband LOVES Thai and Indian food and almost always orders Chicken Massaman Curry. We live in a small community with limited ethnic food options so I have been trying to recreate our favorites at home. I followed the recipe and just made minor adjustments as noted by others (less peanut butter, tamarind paste substitution, red pepper flakes, chopped onions and carrots, 1/2 can water and a handful of peanuts). It was AWESOME. My whole family loved it, especially my husband who ate the leftovers for lunch TWICE!! This is a huge compliment as I can rarely entice him to leftovers for lunch. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
