Thailand is known for its curries, and massaman is perhaps one of the best. It is a mix of Persian and Thai influences, made with coconut milk, potatoes and meat such as chicken, beef or tofu for vegetarians.

Massaman curry is one of the most popular Thai dishes and is often regarded as one of the most delicious curries in the world. It is a rich, savory and slightly sweet curry. In addition to chicken, the curry also contains potatoes, onions and sometimes carrots. It is also not uncommon to add cashews, raisins and tamarind to the curry to give it a unique flavour.

The spice mix used in Massaman curry is what makes this curry so special. It contains many herbs and spices, including coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, star anise and nutmeg. These herbs and spices give the curry its distinctive aroma and flavour.

Massaman curry (Thai: มัสมั่น) originated in Muslim countries. Massaman curry is said to come from Persia, but others claim it comes from Malaysia. Massaman is said to come from the Malay word "masam", which means sour. The oldest known recipe for Massaman curry dates back to 1889.

Massaman curry contains ingredients that are not often used in Thai cuisine. Among other things, cumin, star anise, nutmeg and cinnamon can be in massaman. The curry is often served with meat such as chicken, beef, lamb or duck. Usually there is fish sauce in massaman curry, but there are also vegetarian and vegan variants.
