Best Massaman curry paste for home cooking
What Massaman curry paste is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
The Muslim-Thai paste: cardamom, cinnamon, and a quieter heat.
In Thai cooking, Massaman curry paste is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.
Taste Massaman curry paste before you empty the spoon. Fresh jars smell like themselves; tired ones smell like dust. Buy the smallest amount you will finish.
