As you can see I am getting back into blogging... it's always something that seems to miss out when I get busy and excess time is just not available.
Thai is an amazing cuisine... it produces flavoursome food in matters of minutes using very fresh ingredients and having a wide variety of thai concentrated pastes available to purchase in supermarkets. While I am not a fan of premade and much prefer to make my own pastes, especially for curries, I will be the first to admit that they make cooking so much easier for someone that has been time poor of late - ME!!
Massaman is a milder yet robust curry sauce, one of the thai curries that my kids enjoy as it's not fiery. Normally as a curry it would have a thicker sauce and be made with beef and potatoes. But as stir fry it was still full of flavour and of course, a quick dish to prepare.
The garnish of toasted coconut added a little extra crunch and enhanced the spice flavours of this delicious sauce.
