But if you want to ask me, please get in touch via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or my website (all links are in the description above). If you leave questions in the comments I may not see them due to the large volume of comments I receive across the hundreds of videos on this channel.

Sadly, choosing the beef I can't choose between bone-in or bone-out short ribs, but have to go for some other cut. In Germany beef is butchered using different cuts. Any recommendations what to go for?

Hello Pailin, thank you for the quality video. Quick question, I see you don't mind using western techniques like browing meat for maillard reaction. In that same respect, can the reducing coconut milk to it's oil state not be replaced by simply cooking the paste direclty in a spoonfull of coconut oil ? Does reducing the coconut milk to oil have an advantage ? Thank you

[@CaptSilvo]

What do you do with the leftover bone broth that you didn’t put into the curry?

[@williamkapakujr6146]

In 1986 we trained with the Royal Thai Army and at a celebration dinner this dish was prepared by our host commander. I remember thinking at the time that this was hands down the best beef stew I had ever eaten in my entire life. I never knew the name of this dish until now or how to prepare it. Thank you for clearing up the mystery.

[@pawpawn4961]

Can confirm that this is an EXCELLENT recipe!!! I cook a lot of Thai food, and I am blown away, this technique works a treat. Thank you!!

[@al1961]

Reducing the coconut oil so it separates is genius, it actually enhances the taste of the whole dish! I love making Thai curry even more now (although I’m still not brave enough to make my own paste!) thanks for this great video

[@mkryu]

in Korean cooking when we use short ribs, we blanch them in boiling water for about 10 minutes, then rinse them off. This gets rid of a lot of that gunk. The other method is to let the meat soak in water for a couple hours or overnight to release blood.

[@aidanngreenwolfe200]

This was the most beautiful and rich tasting Massaman curry I’ve ever eaten. Sweet potatoes are definitely key as are the peanuts. Thank you for this!! ❤️

[@timmcgrath3995]

I’ve cooked this 3 times now and I think it’s the one of the best methods I’ve ever seen for a beef curry.

[@walterperez3439]

Hello Adam please hide that fish sauce bottle is becoming an addiction very soon pai is going to start drinking fish sauce !!!🐟🐠🐡

[@DominikKJakob]

thanks for this recipe Pailin! I cooked the dish last week, with a few minor changes: didn't remove the bones, used beef stock instead of water, put the pot into the oven for the 2 hours of braising - the meat was soft and came right off the bones.Then reduced the coconut milk, sautéed the curry paste, added more coconut and basically all of the braising liquid (just skimmed off much of the fat) - then added only onion & potato to get them soft, added the meat & peanuts at the end.It was an amazingly rich & creamy & flavoful dish, with such tender beef.My 3 Thai guests were in heaven... ;-)

[@Dr.Nagyonfaj]

I agree with your changes. My thinking as well. :-)

[@KhunAdam]

Great version! I liked how you showed how to crack the coconut milk before adding the paste. I think that makes a big difference.

[@andrewmangan118]

My step daughter, who is my biggest critic, loved it! Thanks heaps

[@aidanngreenwolfe200]

YES.. this looks amazing!! It's going on my list to make soon. Honestly every recipe of yours that I've tried has come out beautifully. I've been following you for years.. I just broke down and ordered your cookbook. Wonderful.

[@PailinsKitchen]

Thank you very much! I hope you enjoy the book!

Another go-to signature curry recipe from Pai! I've never bought curry paste from the store and never will thanks to you! And thanks to your great instructions I know this is going to be a hit with my family as all your other curry recipes have. Maika'i Pai!

I did this recipe yesterday (also made the paste!) and it was absolutely faaabulous! It was so flavorful and complex and rich! Yuuuummm!!!

[@shajithomas8050]

Hi I am a regular viewer of your videos.I like the Thai cuisine and I found your videos in KZbin last a month ago.. I already tried some of your receipies and it was amazing.i made the massaman beef curry yesterday..it was so so good .well done and go ahead with more delicious items

[@Balladov]

thanks! Doing this for a going away party for one of my fiance's coworkers. I saw the recipe on the website, im glad there is a video to go with it. I just finished the curry paste and instapot bone broth, and I can already tell its going to be bomb! Thanks again!

I tried this in nyc for the first time i I have been craving it ever since I hope this recipe tastes just as good!

I had a similar dish at my local Thai restaurant last night and it was delicious and the meat was “fork tender”. Thanks for posting the video. You have great presentation skills, well done👍.

Watching this on top of a mountain during hiking. Worst feeling ever, I was drooling. (checked my bag several times and all I can still see is tuna and sardine) 😣😣😣

[@YvonE5]

Pai you are such a great awesome Chef❣️I Always refer to your videos & recipe instructions when I make my Thai dishes. My kids love it 😋. Their favorite is Pad See Ew. I am definitely going to try the famous massaman beef curry next.

[@SeriousRen]

I have made this dish several times and it has become a household, family, and friends favorite. So now I make a lot when I make it! Thank you for the video!

[@ask230]

Can't wait to cook this! Just one suggestion: This may be even better if you sear the beef in the same pot where you will make the curry sauce so you build up some great beef fond that will flavor the dish. Then you can transfer the beef and add the bones into a separate pot where you will braise it.

[@paulking962]

I even cut any fat and sear the beef in its own fat. I've even done it with chicken thighs.

[@BLTSQ]

I tried this with a rice cooker, it came out really tender and yummm... they were long gone before the rice was done.

[@steveraman4562]

just excellent and with a big smile of yours wish you all best for years to come

[@GaiaCarney]

Thank You, Pailin’s Kitchen 💖 Massaman Curry is my favorite! I like when it is spicy 🌶 and the peanuts soft 😊

[@Cromt-W]

I used to work as a delivery guy for a thai restaurant and I used to have massaman curry every day. It's sooooo gooooood 😀

[@terrylynkalingo1173]

Im relying on your recipe when it comes to thai food👍

[@wingsabre]

If you parboil the shortribs before browning, you'll get less gunk. It's a Chinese stock method to get a clearer broth. That way, you could probably cook it in the curry. This however may be an extra step.

[@remain___]

Thank you!! I've been using the curry paste recipe and experimenting using different Mexican peppers. Now I need to make the whole dish! ✌️

[@chansodispo8143]

looks really yummy, i would definetely try this one day. Tks for sharing.

[@adamthehtkminion6750]

Hi Adam here - and yes it can be tricky to find :) When shop for the show in general we go to T&T first, and if no luck then Dong Thanh Supermarket or My Tho Supermarket (both close together on Kingsway) or 88 Supermarket - all are on the map here ... hot-thai-kitchen.com/locate-a-thai-grocer.

Elated you're browning off the beef. Not doing so was such a surprise to me when I took cooking lessons in Chiangmai.

Hmm... I'm gonna try the first part with a pressure cooker. I'm too impatient to wait two hours. Thanks Pailin!🥘🍲

[@Nitemaredaydream]

I am a massaman addict and most definitely going to try the searing and braising first. But still going to marinate it first. Looks yummy

[@madelinekeran653]

I cooked today your massaman curry and my employer loved it thanks a lot for your recipe dear cheers and also I make your massaman paste kinda a lot of work but anyway they loved it cheers!..

[@kloydarnepena454]

Searing the meat makes any dish taste perfect... Did try it in making 'Adobo'...this step seals the dish into delicious perfection...;-)

[@leoflusa]

Short ribs are the best. I made this but I added Chinese eggplant and carrots and it was awesome. I think you can pretty much add any type of root vegetable if you want as well. I used the store bought curry from my local Asian market and also got the better coconut milk and finally it actually broke and oil separated and it was beautiful lol. Thank you hot Thai lady! :)

[@brandon3872]

The key to making the coconut milk break is using the right coconut milk. Canned coconut milk often has added emulsifiers which are chemicals that stop the oil separating from the liquid. Coconut milk in a carton (you can get it in Asian supermarkets), is usually less processed and should be able to break. Sometimes if I don't have time to go to an Asian supermarket I just buy canned reduced fat coconut milk from the regular grocery store and sauté the curry paste in coconut oil before adding the coconut milk. Good luck :)

[@SweetandMellow999]

That curry dish looks amazing! I would clean (cook) the beef bones for 10 mins in a regular pot and do the rest of the cooking in the IP, but for only 1 hr. I would also use straight up coconut oil with the massaman curry and finish the whole dish with veggies and count cream in the IP for another maybe another 5-10 mins. But then it's an extra 2 small pots to clean. lol

[@sing759]

I always love watching your cooking video, what a great quality video as well. Thanks for sharing your recipes, I found a lot of Thai curry using coconut milk. for me, I cook without coconut milk, so it gives me more spices and flavor rather than sweet taste, in the end I sprinkle some masala (Indian 7 spices - by the way a lot of Thai people couldn't eat masala coz of the strong smell/taste but it gives u very unique taste ). anyway, thanks for all other cooking videos :) cheerio

[@didisinclair3605]

I'm about to make this for the third time. Absolutely divine.

[@michaelsouther7308]

I was always loved red curry, but this is so darn good. No bones are available, but beef cheap cuts are. I always avoided massaman and panang. Japanese and Korean. I do love spice, being married to a Thai and Filipina flavors are Massaman number one. This is so good. I had no sweet potatoes, so I used yellow. I had green papaya but decided to ask. Now almost ready to try. Can you freeze papaya ?

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

Hi! I think you're going to have to ask her that one directly as she doesn't see the comments on here once the post is more than a week old (as per her note above). You can check out options to get hold of her here hot-thai-kitchen.com/contact . Cheers! Adam

[@charliezielinski5334]

I'm def going to make this in the fall! currently I'm enjoying green and red curry with fresh chilies

[@jeffersonrodolfo7070]

Can red curry replace the massaman curry but the same procedure?

[@RYNOTANE]

I love this video and can’t wait to try it, thanks for sharing. I’m supper busy and curious if you have ever tried this recipe in a crockpot? If so did you make adjustments to the process?

[@felipemaldonado8028]

By far one of my favourite dishes ever. Loved the recipe!

[@tonkatoytruck]

Bought a Kafir Lime tree and planted some lemon grass. Both are doing well but I was wondering if it is possible to grow Galangal in hot climates (Houston)? Nothing like fresh made curry paste!!!!! Thanks for the updated recipe.

[@PailinsKitchen]

Galangal thrives in hot climate, so give it a go!

[@revcounselor]

Bless you for posting this Pailin. I ordered this dish made with sliced strip steak when I was in college. The restaurant is long gone but I've done everything to try and duplicate it to no avail. I always depended on the coconut milk to add the subtle sweetness. Now I know. Thank you... Also, is this sometime made with bamboo strips?

[@CK-zm8nz]

I can't wait this video to become one of your most seen/popular dishes!

[@restonsunday]

Mai Tai in Haslet TX has a good massuman curry that has onion, carrot, sweet potato, and fresh wedges of avocado. The avocado was like biting down on a soft pillowy cloud of curry heaven.

[@ragga_muffin_84]

It just so happens I was going to make a massaman gai tomorrow ready for Sunday, but this has made me think twice............ chicken or beef 🤔. Quality videos btw, always on point!! Respect from England 👍🏻

[@MrKingsley16]

Great time creating the curry taste. I dont like cooking anything for hours, so I will be tenderizing/cooking my shortribs in a pressure cooker to cut time.

[@jepoyfern5627]

Your recipes give me life!

[@notorioushsg1]

Hi Pailin. The recipe looks great. I want to use my pressure cooker to speed up the beef tenderising process. Do you have any suggestions about how I would adjust the water/fish sauce/paste and coconut milk? It will be my first time using a pressure cooker so I'm not quite sure about quantities. Right now, I'm thinking 3/4 a cup of water and 1/4 cup coconut and maybe 1/2 the other ingredients?

This is my absolute favorite Thai curry, though my preference has always been w-pork. So this tutorial inspires me to try it with beef! Thanks especially for the tips on how to make that work best (i.e. using rib meat, braising it then stewing separately while including the bones, skimming the broth to add as liquid later, etc.) Now...do you have a larb recipe???

[@georghiecretme6204]

Hi Pailin. I’m a new follower😊 I just simply love Thai food and it’s great that I have come across your channel. With the massaman curry,I am just wondering if I can do it on a slow cooker?

I'm learning so many new things to bring my curries to the next level! I love coconut milk for many things, but I've never reduced it & I'm intrigued. I also didn't know you were supposed to saute curry paste until a few videos ago 😹 On a side note... watching these older videos is shocking. You don't appear to have aged a single day in 6 years 🙀😻

Finally making this massaman curry the legit way today for my fiancé. He loves Asian food and I make a generic version of this a lot and he loves that so I hope he loves it even more the real way ☺️💝

[@ZipTumbleFast]

This is crazy good. We made Indian curry bread to go along with it, and surprisingly to us, it was a great match. One thing though that Pai kind of glossed over was to let the beef cool before transferring the liquid. Otherwise you’ll think like us that, “Pai just bought cheap beef because my broth looks fine. Just transfer the broth.” Yeah and a couple hours later you realize your curry broth is covered in fat. We were fortunate in our timeline so we were able to skim the fat off our curry broth and save the day. The meal overall though was a home run. Not often when the wife doesn’t talk to me during dinner because she’s too busy eating.

I am just wondering, if it's possible to use coconut oil to fry the paste instead reducing the coconut milk? Coconut oil is pretty easy to find these days.

[@Doughnutthanwarin]

Yes, but you can't subtitute coconut oil with coconut milk as a soup in this dish.
