Massaman Curry

by Braxton Lemon

I found this recipe online

• 2 14 oz cans of Coconut Milk
• 3 tablespoons Curry Paste 
• 2 medium onions
• 6 medium potatoes
• 2 lbs meat (I used Chicken, but I’ve tasted it with beef, shrimp, and I’ve heard of it with lamb. Most Thai restaurants let you pick the meat.)
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup rice
• ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
• 4 bay leaves
• 3 Tbsp sugar
• 3 Tbsp tamarind pulp
• ¾ cup peanut butter
• 3 tsp salt
• Liberal shaking of cinnamon

1) Start by mixing the coconut milk, curry paste, water, cardamom, sugar, tamarind pulp, salt, and cinnamon in the dutch oven. 

2) Set dutch oven over coals to heat up until boil begins

3) Dice onions, potatoes and chicken

4) Add onions, potatoes, chicken, rice, peanut butter, and bay leaves to boiling liquid

5) Cook for about 45 minutes or until potatoes are cooked

I used about 16 coals or more on the bottom and about 12 on the top.
