Thai Massaman curry

this curry is most commonly made with chicken, but there are also variations on this dish using duck, beef, venison, mutton, goat, or, less commonly, pork.

The Muslim roots of the dish are evident in many of the flavors of the massaman curry paste that come from spices not frequently used in other Thai

Massaman curry (Thai: แกงมัสมั่น, RTGS: kaeng matsaman, pronounced  is a rich, relatively mild Thai curry. Being a fusion dish, ingredients popular among Muslim traders from Persia, the Indian subcontinent, and the Malay Archipelago (e.g. cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, cumin, bay leaves, nutmeg, mace, and potato) were brought to Thailand and combined with ingredients more commonly used in native Thai cuisine (e.g. chili peppers, coriander, lemongrass, galangal, white pepper, shrimp paste, shallots, and garlic) to make massaman curry paste.
