Massaman curry is one of the more unique Thai curries thanks to Persian influence. It originated in the south of Thailand near the border of Malaysia and is a thick sauce with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Massaman curry dishes distinguish themselves by the inclusion of several whole spices and peanuts, otherwise uncommon in a Thai curry. Thai Penang red curry is richer and sweeter yet drier than the other curries. It is named for the island off the west coast of Malaysia and is served sometimes topped with coconut cream.
The paste is made of dried or fresh red chilies and is usually prepared to be extremely spicy. You will most often see this curry cooked with beef.
Sour curry paste is made of just five ingredients, earning this the easiest curry to make. It has a looser consistency than the other curries and is usually prepared with fish or pork, similar to this Goan curry. Tamarind, sour pineapple, or other sour fruit give the curry its distinct sour flavor. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.

Massaman Curry is another such example of a Thai Curry with Subcontinental influences. We go a little heavier on the spices for yellow curry compared to red or green curries , which are driven more by their heavy chilli content than spices. Of these spices, fenugreek might be the hardest to find. If you do not have it, leave it out.
TIP: Use a stick blender. Much more effective than blenders, Nutribullets and mini food processors which you need to scrape down repeatedly to blitz thoroughly. Not to mention easier to clean! The purpose of this step is to dry out the wet paste, toasting the herbs and spices to intensify the flavour.
For this curry, I chose prawns shrimp because seafood is a popular choice in yellow curries. Chicken and fish are also other favourites for yellow curry which you can use instead. Use fresh if you can, and keep the tail on. Otherwise frozen thawed is perfectly fine. The cutting size is specified in the recipe. Any kind of potato is OK waxy or starchy for this recipe, but waxy will tend to hold its shape better.
Coconut cream — We use cream to give the curry sauce its thickness as well as richness. You can use milk or lite versions, but the curry will be a little thinner in consistency and less full in richness. Look for brands that have a high percentage of coconut extract. Ayam brand is my choice. Tamarind puree — Tamarind is a sour fruit pod whose pulp is used in South East Asian food to add acidity to food like this curry. You can buy it is a jarred puree in large Australian supermarkets Coles, Woolworths or Asian grocers.
Bamboo shoots — Sold in cans at large grocery stores Woolies, Coles, Harris , they have a crisp juicy texture and have a unique taste. Substitute with green beans for similar shape or more carrots. Simmer chicken stock — Simmer on medium heat for a minute to bring the flavours together. Add remaining curry sauce ingredients: Reduce heat to medium low. Add tamarind, fish sauce and sugar. Stir until tamarind is dissolved. Simmer 20 minutes — Add carrot and potato, then simmer the sauce for 15 minutes or until the potato is nearly cooked pierce with a knife to check , it might take up to 20 minutes.
Potato takes a surprisingly long time to cook in a thick coconut curry sauce! If your heat is too strong and the sauce reduces and thickens too quickly, lower heat and add a splash of water.
Prawns and bamboo shoots: Add prawns and bamboo shoots. Stir, then cook for 3 minutes until prawns are just cooked. Plate up! Once the prawns are cooked, remove the curry out of the hot skillet into a serving bowl to prevent the prawns from overcooking.
Overcooked, rubbery prawns in a homemade yellow curry from scratch is a depressing thought! Thai Basil Leaves — Tastes like regular basil plus a bit of aniseed flavour.
Highly recommended to finish this dish off. Crispy fried shallot pieces optional — Salty little fried bits of shallots brings a great finishing touch to the dish both for the flavour and texture. Find it in the Asian section of supermarket but cheaper at Asian stores. Fresh chilli slices — Purely option, for a splash of colour and extra spice, if desired. Use large chillies if you want the colour without the spiciness. And with that, I am done — you are now armed with everything you need to know to make this Thai Yellow Curry!

Punyaratabandhu noted yellow curry is "heavily influenced" by South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines, so the flavor is "milder and redolent of warm dried spices which those cuisines are known for. Those South Asian and Middle Eastern connections are also why, she added in her email, yellow curries are often made with potatoes and onions.
Green curry is spicier, with a flavor Punyaratabandhu described as fresher and herbaceous. The vegetable ingredients traditionally used in it are usually indigenous -- those grown in a typical home garden, e. You don't see green curry in Thailand made with potatoes or onions unless it's made for tourists. On the other hand, you don't see yellow curry made with eggplant or bamboo shoot. Recipes for yellow and green curry pastes among others are featured in Punyaratabandhu's cookbook.
She tells you what you need, how to make the pastes and how to store them, if necessary. But Punyaratabandhu is practical, too. Some of the ingredients required for an authentic taste may not be readily available and substitutions can be difficult to make, she notes, so you may have to use a commercially available paste.
