Looking for a recipe for beef massaman curry?

not sure if thats the correct spelling saw it on tv and looked yummy!
* 800g beef brisket or stewing steak, trimmed of fat and cut into chunks

* 1 onion chopped

* 1x 400mL can Coconut Milk

* 1 sachet / 2-3tbsp Massaman Curry Paste

* 8 cardamon pods

* 3 star anise

* 1tsp cinnamon

* small knob ginger sliced

* 2 cloves garlic chopped



Ingredients (in two stages):



* 1tbsp peanut butter

* 1 1/2 tbsp fish sauce

* juice of 1/2 a lime

* 1tsp sugar or squeeze of agave nectar

* handful cashew nuts (and extra for garnish)





Start by frying the beef in a little oil to seal and then tip the contents of the pan into another dish.



Now fry off the onion, garlic, ginger and spices before adding the beef (but reserve the juices separately) back to the pan with the massaman paste. Now add the tin of coconut milk, cover and simmer gently for 1 1/2 2 hours, or until the meat is tender. The meat needs to be completely covered in sauce so if you need more liquid add the reserved juices from frying the beef.



About 20-30 minutes before the end of the cooking take off the lid and add the peanut butter, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar/agave and a handful of cashew nuts.

From your timing I am guessing you are talking about the one on Come Dine With Me on Thursday night.

The link to the recipe from the show is below/

It did look good, but as Sam said she made the paste herself and, from looking at her recipe, that is where most of the work is.
