Episode 9 - How to cook authentic Thai Beef Matsaman Curry, (Masaman, Massaman) (แกงมัสมั่นเนื้อ Gaaeng Matsaman Neuua) Matsaman curry gets its entire flavor from the rich combination of spices, palm sugar, fish sauce and tamarind sauce. I love the way the richness of the beef come through the spices with clear three tastes; starting with sweet followed by sour and then salty. The addition of the potatoes thickens the curry just enough and the roasted peanuts add a beautiful crunchy tone. No wonder this dish, somewhat a newcomer to the Thai cuisine, was crowned by some authors as the most complex and time consuming Thai curry to make. Matsaman is believed to have arrived Siam with the first Persian envoy to the court of Ayutthaya in the 16th century. Grandma Waow Wongthai, Now 92 years old, is well familiar with authentic Thai cooking since childhood. Her father used to be a “Than khun” (, Non-hereditary Thai royal title) and she often cooked for the many guests who visited their home. Matsaman beef curry is one of the dishes she is still renowned for. The following version of Beef Matsaman curry is Grandma Waow’s recipe I have made it countless times myself, and not surprisingly, Matsaman curry never tasted better than that!
