Episode 9 - How to cook authentic Thai Beef Matsaman Curry, (Masaman, Massaman)

[Moonpigmoonpig]

Do you keep the cocunut milk you used to cook the beef in or do you through it away???

As in the video when you add the beef it appears to be gone, but i am not sure?

Thanks

[rupendhar]

Do you not marinate the meat? I can never figure out in curries and stir-frys when to marinate the meat and when not to. Thanks. Best video on the web for this topic.

[bambateddy]

can fish paste be used instead of shrimp paste? cause a lot of people in my family is allergic to shrimp

เพลงอะไรครับ เพราะจังเลย

The background music is horrible. Anyway, this is the real and original recipe. That's why we, Thai people, don't usually make it at home.

[MonkyzClef]

[ArgoSG]

Amazing, authentic, highest possible production quality, superb piece of video cooking artwork celebrating one of the most flavor explosive, heavenly comfort foods from Thailand.

I had a great massaman which was much sweeter than the one I make. Unfortunately that one was better and I have been trying to emulate it ever since but cannot get the right ingredients. Any tips? What gives it the sweet flavor? (The one I tried also had a bay leaf in it). Thanks for the nice vid

[Thaifoodmaster]

@Pigroota  Palm sugar is the sweetener. I like to mix it with water and gradually add it until i get the desired sweetness. better than waiting for it to dissolve in the dish while cooking, hth

[Pigroota]

@Thaifoodmaster Wow! Thanks for that. Someone also told me a little known Thai secret that you dissolve a barley sugar lolly into the curry. Any credence to that one? You are the MasteR!!

[rkimani87]

wow....this looks really authentic. i wish i was there to taste it!! :)

[strawnylad]

This look fantastic! I am going to use your curry paste and most of your methods and ingredients. However I will cook the curry using a slow cooker for 6-7 hours. I can't wait to taste it!!

[jadechanboon]

you are for real ! no bs. i like that

[mc12188]

awesome video and recipe. I have looked at a lot of massaman recipes but yours is the best and authentic looking. Love the thai music in ur vid. tnx for putting up the recipe vid. I am a subscriber now. I am going to cook lamb massaman today and hope it looks delicious like urs.

[Thaifoodmaster]

thanks for the kind note! let me know how your lamb matsaman came out.\cheers

[karadan100]

I've just subscribed. What an amazing channel!

[Mickice]

I'm assuming half of those steps can be removed if you buy the massaman curry paste in a jar ready to go.

[Thaifoodmaster]

than you simply use the commercial product with the curry paste i made . the rest is the same.

[grizzlyxxl]

Real authentic cooking is about cooking from scratch. No ready to use off the shelve product can give you the joy when your own cooking comes out right. We are loosing a lot of wisdom about spices and ingredients because the Food Industry wants us to think there is no difference.

[azucarillo187]

Excellent! Thank you so much!

[shankyxyz]

ohh excellent video. i was looking many places for a first principles video of massaman curry on youtube. all the other videos use some crap store paste. absolute beautiful video. thanks. can you kindly put up something on panang curry too. also i am vegetarian. is shrimp paste absolutely necessary?

[Thaifoodmaster]

Thanks for the comment. I will be happy to include penang curry as a feature feature....

shrimp paste, as MANY other fermented foods, gives a beautiful depth of savory flavors to the background taste, i guess if you cant eat it you should not be using it ;-))

[takadi]

YES Thank you for honoring the request! This is amazing!

[mehdan2]

wow i love this especially over rice, but i dont think i can handle all this cooking...

[DolceVita]

beautiful. if cooking a romantic meal for two, i might do it but its too much work for my kids they will just take one look at it and ask for chocolate toast! My kids are not  so appreciative of home cooking lol

[fanayre]

Bravo! I never found such an artistic, fully explained and complete receipe of any thai curry than this. Thank you so much. This video will help me very much in my thai cooking in spain! More videos please!!!

[takadi]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[PootieKrumpz]

this looks delicious. Could I use chicken instead and eat with noodles, kind of like Ka-pone?

[Thaifoodmaster]

oh yes! actually chicken is also very popular for this curry. you won't need to pre-cook the chicken as you do with the beef. and you can give it a quick fry to color the skin only for a more pleasing result. as for what you eat it with...it's your call.... be it rice, noodles or even bread ;-))

[powerplantop]

WOW!!!!!!

[simdogziz]

Excellent as usual. Thanks so much for taking the time to make these. I'm always excited when a new one is out!

Hi Hanuman, I loved seeing how to make this, especially the red curry part. How wonderfully complex the flavour must be. I'm wondering if the garnish on the top of the finished dish is ginger? I have everything except the nutmeg flower to make this. I've never even seen a nutmeg flower!

[Thaifoodmaster]

Yes, the garnish is ginger, a nice touch and the colors are just right!

Nutmeg flower is a mistake it is actually Mace, [thanks for a facebook friend who pointed the error to me]

[donseboutje]
