  Wow! Wow! Wow! The whole family were left speechless and ate this meal in peace (apart from lots of oooh's, aaah's and mmmm's). This was so easy to prepare but gave the most fantastic flavour. Would thoroughly recommend. We have tried all the Massaman curries on the Good Food website and have not been disappointed.

  Is it really with coconut cream rather than milk? I made it and unfortunately it was a disaster and any liquid disappeared and curdled around the meat, what did I do wrong? I really want another go, the smell was fab.

  This was fantastic and tasted so authentic. I think pinky-67 you may have let the cream boil that i swhy it curdled. I would definitely make this one again.

  pinky-67, I haven't made this recipe yet but made Massaman several times. As far as I know some reasons why it gets curdle could be: one is the very strong heat when frying, another is stiring too much (this will separate the oil from liquid). Though, I'd prefer strong fire better than too weak fire why frying the curry paste because it makes the smell better. Hope this help ^_^

  Wow this sounds lovely, plus i want an excuse to use my Brand new shiny Caserole dish, its like a Le Creuset one only miles cheaper (19.99 from Aldi) there have been rave reviews about it so im looking forward to 'christening' it. I have most of the ingrediants in the house, i dont have Beef but i do have Lamb in the freezer so i think i will use that, i notice VB recipes used turkey so im sure using lamb will be fine. I'll be making this on Sat eve so i will be back to comment on how it went. x

  Lovely recipe but I couldn't get any Massaman curry paste so I used Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Nasi Goreng Paste instead as it had very similar ingredients (they do sell a Taste the Difference Massaman too but they didn't have any at the time). I ended up cooking it for about 4 hours.

  Really tasty, very easy to make and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Used ordinary tinned coconut milk and left out peanuts but added coriander at the end instead. My only problem with it was that it looked like a lancashire hot pot! Thankfully it didn't taste like one. Definitely a meal to please 3 hungry men - will be making it again.

  I made this in my slow cooker and it was very nice, but I halved the recipe to serve 2 and thought it could have done with a bit more sauce... will try again!

  Made this twice now. Substituted massaman curry paste for Pataks curry paste - tried two different types. Still used 4 tbsp and the first curry was very strong - next time used 3 tbsp and slightly mild so 3 and a half next time! A very nice recipe.

  I thought the flavours were delicious but the meat was nowhere near as tender as I would have expected. It was actually quite tough, even though I had followed the recipe exactly. Bit disappointing but as the flavours of the sauce and potatoes were good, I think it has potential and will try again
