Massaman curry

Adam Guthrie

Chef Adam Guthrie puts a wholefood, plant-based spin on Massaman curry in this vibrant dish, packed with the flavours of southeast Asia.

Ingredients

Serves 4 

TO SERVE

Method

  1. Heat a large pot over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and dry sauté (no oil) until browned. Add a dash of water to deglaze the pot. Add the tomatoes, red curry paste, and curry powder, then stir until fragrant.
  2. Add the pumpkin, potatoes, water, tamari, and coconut sugar, then mix well. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. 
  3. Stir frequently, using the spoon to break up the pumpkin as it starts to soften, leaving some pieces intact to create a chunky sauce. Cook until the potatoes and pumpkin are soft, and the sauce has thickened.
  4. Add the milk and cook for a few more minutes before stirring in the lime juice. Serve over cooked brown rice and top with a sprinkle of coriander leaves and chopped peanuts.

TIP: I used the Maesri brand of Thai red curry paste, which is vegan friendly, oil free, and easy to find in mainstream supermarkets and Asian grocery stores.
