Who this list is for
This checklist is for home cooks making Thai massaman beef curry for six. If you want a hearty, mildly spicy curry with beef, potatoes, and peanuts, this list is for you. It’s ideal for group dinners or when you want to cook an authentic Thai dish with all the right flavors.
How to use this list
Begin by scanning your pantry and fridge for jasmine rice, beef chuck, and spices. The list includes 3 cups of jasmine rice, 2 pounds of beef chuck, and 1 1/2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes. Pick up massaman curry paste, three cans of coconut milk, two yellow onions, and half a cup of roasted peanuts. Don’t forget tamarind concentrate, fish sauce, and either palm sugar or brown sugar. You’ll also need a cinnamon stick, four green cardamom pods, and two bay leaves. Buy only what you need, and keep the quantities scaled for six.
Common mistakes
Don’t use stewing beef instead of beef chuck; it will get tough. Skipping the curry paste or using too little makes the dish bland. Avoid substituting regular potatoes for Yukon Gold—they hold their shape better. Some cooks forget the peanuts or use raw ones; roasted peanuts give the right texture. Don’t skip the tamarind concentrate, or the curry will lack its signature tang.
