Thai Massaman Curry

Thai Massaman Curry is a dish of flavours and textures. The succulent chicken and the tender potatoes both absorb the combination of herbs and spices superbly. Add Peanut butter into the mix and its an even bigger winner. Serve as a main dish for an aromatic pleasure. Serve on its own or with steamed rice for a beautiful meal. This recipe can be adapted by adding carrots and instead of the peanut butter try adding peanuts.
