Very good! I changed up the some of the ingredients (I prefer sweet potato, cauliflower, and cashews in my massaman curry) and added the juice of two limes and added more sugar to make it less spicy. Love that I can make my favorite take out dish now!

I don't have kafir Lime leaves and tamarinde paste. Any tips?

Hii Gerrit! Hmm if you don’t have kaffir lime leaves, you can add a bit of lime zest at the end for a citrusy note. A mix of lime juice and a splash of soy sauce or vinegar with a pinch of sugar can mimic the sweet-sour tang of tamarind paste. The flavour of the curry will be a bit different, so be sure to taste and adjust the seasoning as you go ☺️

Very nice, lots of flavour. Potatoes needed longer than the given time

Delicious! I cooked the potatoes for around 10 min extra than recipe instructions, comforting and warming. Very quick and easy meal

Loved this curry it was so quick and easy to prepare, I didnt have any mock chicken so used chick peas instead, then just doubled the curry paste and cooked it for a bit longer cause I love my potatoes soft and squishy. I also loved the added timer feature you've included!

Mhmmm so good! This dish made my night it was so yummy, my parents loved it too! Only the potatoes take wayyy longer than 10min (approximately 30min for me) so plan in some extra cooking time🤗

This was unfortunately so bland, it was too watery and had absolutely no flavour. Serving it with the rice just made it even blander.

We're sorry to hear this, Danielle! The massaman curry paste we get from our local International foods store is quite flavourful so I wonder if that may be different from yours? In any case, to enhance the flavour and reduce the watery consistency, you can try increasing the amount of curry paste for more intensity and simmering the curry longer to thicken it.
