C7. Kang Massaman (Large Tray)

Kang Massaman is usually prepared with chicken or beef instead of pork because of its Muslim origin. It’s a signature dish of Southern Thai cuisine and a perfect example of how cultural fusion can create unique dishes. It began with Muslim traders introducing it to Thailand, where it melded with Thai and Persian influences. Thai people soon made this curry their own, infusing it with their local spices and ingredients. Kang Massaman is a complex curry, so be prepared for several hours of slow-cooking, especially the beef. This Thai massaman curry recipe comes with juicy braised beef or chicken and sweet potatoes swimming in a coconut curry sauce with a balance of salty, sweet, and sour.
