Main Ingredients

Method

Spice Preparation

  1. 1

    Toast the Spices

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, add coriander seeds, cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and dried red chilies. Toast for about 3-5 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Grind the Spices

    Once cooled, transfer the toasted spices to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Grind into a fine powder. Set aside.

Cooking the Massaman

  1. 3

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Chicken

    Add the boneless chicken thighs to the pot, and cook until they are no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Incorporate the Spices

    Stir in the ground spice mixture, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the chicken is well-coated and fragrant.

  4. 6

    Add Coconut Milk and Water

    Pour in the coconut milk and water, and bring to a gentle simmer.

  5. 7

    Add Potatoes

    Add the diced potatoes to the pot. Stir well and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

  6. 8

    Season the Curry

    Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

  7. 9

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot with rice or bread, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
