    Masaman Curry Paste
    Masaman Curry Paste

    Masaman curry one of the five famous Thai curries that you will find in most Thai restaurants. This curry has an influence from Malaysia and India cuisine. Some of you might not know, but Masaman is not a Thai word. Some claims state that it is derived from the word "masam" in Malaysia, and it means sour and some says "masaman" is derived from the word "Mussulman" which is an old word of Muslim.

    Masaman curry has a very an fragrant and elegant scent. My home smells wonderful when I cook this meal. It's not only the spices in the curry that make this recipe mouthwatering, but the hint of the tamarind juice that also enhances the flavor in the curry.

    There are so many products and brands of ready to cook masaman curry paste, but I think alternatively that we should know and be able to make our homemade curry paste, too. The main reason to make it yourself is for control of the preservatives and other unhealthy ingredients. Thus research and came up with our own homemade masaman curry recipe with lower sodium. We hope you will enjoy the recipe as we do.
