Storage

This curry can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.

Chef Notes

  • Massaman curry paste can be found in most Asian grocery stores or online. If unavailable, you can make your own by combining red chili, lemongrass, garlic, shallots, galangal, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, cardamom, and cloves in a blender.

  • For an extra kick of flavor, consider adding a spoonful of homemade sofrito (a traditional Caribbean seasoning blend of onion, garlic, bell peppers, and herbs) to the curry paste mixture.

  • Adjust the spice level of the curry by adding more or less curry paste, according to your preference.
