Beef Massaman curry (Thai: แกงมัสมั่น, RTGS: kaeng matsaman, IPA: [kɛːŋ mรกt.sa.mร n]) is a rich, relatively mild Thai curry that is an interpretation of a Persian dish.

Massaman or matsaman is not a native Thai word. It is generally thought to refer to the Muslims with earlier writers from the mid-19th century calling the dish "Mussulman curry"; Mussulman being an archaic form of the word Muslim.

Variations

I chopped up a few pineapple rings, left over from making Chicken satay and added at the start of the cooking stage, together with a little pineapple juice. I also added a chopped up banana but only added this at the very end of the cooking process, just long enough for them to warm up. This is probably not authentic, but it's nice to have a sweet curry now and then!
