You should try this Thai Massaman Beef Curry. It’s like a delicious Thai-styled beef stew that’s loaded with chunks of juicy beef and soft potatoes in a rich, sweet and creamy coconut soup. Thai Kaeng Matsaman Curry (แกงมัสมั่น) is distinctly different in flavor from other red curries, due to the addition of star anise, cardamom, and cinnamon.

I can show you how easy it is to make at home. You don’t need to be a professional chef to recreate these delicious Thai dishes for your family. Just watch my video recipes and I’ll show you how it’s done.
