Authentic Thai recipe!

This authentic Massaman Chicken Curry (Gaeng Massaman Gai) is made in one pot in just 45 minutes, using store bought curry paste. With coconut milk, chicken, potatoes and peanuts it's super creamy, subtly sweet and not so spicy.

"Absolutely delicious! Who knew such a simple recipe could be so amazing! Will definitely be making this again." - Lara
