Did you know that in 2011, CNN ranked massaman curry as the number one most delicious food in the world? That’s an absolutely bonkers fact that you can tell someone at a dinner party when you use this recipe and impress everyone around you. We genuinely do love this recipe though because of how thick, rich, and creamy this curry is compared to other Thai curries. Massaman has a mild, neutral spice level that’s reminiscent of South Asian and Indian flavors, making it a great option for kids
