Method
- Brown the beef cubes in oil in a heavy pot until deeply seared on all sides.
- Fry the massaman paste in the coconut cream until oils separate, then return the beef.
- Add coconut milk, tamarind, palm sugar, and water to cover, then simmer covered for 90 minutes.
- Stir in the potatoes, onion, and peanuts and cook 30 more minutes until everything is tender.
Cooks notes. Recipes are tested in a US home kitchen. Substitute lemon for lime if you must, but the result will read brighter. Salt to taste -- our quantities skew toward kosher.
