THAI MUSSAMUN CURRY WITH CHICKEN, POTATOES, AND PEANUTS



Thai Mussamun Curry With Chicken, Potatoes, and Peanuts image

Adapted from The Curry Book: Memorable Flavors and Irresistibly Simple Recipes From Around the World, by Nancie McDermott, and found at splendidtable.com. This curry comes from southern Thailand, where many Thais follow the teachings of Islam. Mussamun is thought to be a pronunciation of the word "Muslim." In Thailand, mussamun curries are often made with chunks of beef, but chicken is popular as well. Make this one a day ahead and you will be rewarded with an extraordinary blossoming of spice-laden flavors. Serve with rice or noodles.

Time 50m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (14 ounce) cans unsweetened coconut milk, divided (about 3 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons mussamun curry paste (you can find a recipe for this at Mussamun Curry Paste (Also Spelled Massaman))
2 lbs boneless chicken thighs or 2 lbs chicken breasts, cut into bite-size chunks, skin left on
1 large potato, peeled and cut into bite-size chunks (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 medium onion, halved lengthwise and sliced lengthwise into thick wedges
1/2 cup dry roasted salted peanut
6 cinnamon sticks, each about 3 inches long
3 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons light brown sugar or 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons tamarind juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • Open 1 can of coconut milk and use a fork to stir the contents until smooth and well combined. In a 6-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, bring 1/2 cup of the stirred coconut milk to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the curry paste and cook 1 minute, stirring and mashing the paste into the coconut milk. Add the chicken and cook 2 minutes, stirring often, until the chicken begins to change color. Add all the remaining coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar, tamarind liquid and salt and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook 15 to 20 minutes, until the potato is tender and the chicken is cooked through. Add 2 tablespoons of the lime juice and stir well. Taste and add more, if desired. Remove from the heat and let stand 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl, removing and discarding the cinnamon sticks, or leaving them in as a traditional garnish not to be eaten. Serve hot or warm.

  • Before you cook: Like all stews, this dish is better the next day after the flavors have had time to mingle. So if you can, make it a day in advanced!
  • In a heavy bottom pot, reduce 1 cup of the coconut milk until it “breaks.” Add the curry paste to the broken coconut milk and sauté until aromatic. Alternatively, if you are using canned coconut milk or a type that is not 100% coconut milk, it may have been homogenized and may not break. In this case, saute the curry paste in some vegetable oil, and add 1/4 cup of the coconut milk to loosen it up.
  • Toss the chicken in the sautéed curry paste, and add the remaining amount of coconut milk. Add just enough water to cover the chicken pieces. Add 1 Tbsp of fish sauce, 2 Tbsp tamarind juice, and 2 Tbsp chopped palm sugar. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Let simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes and onion, and let simmer gently for another 20 minutes or until the vegetables and chicken are fork tender.
