Thai Masaman Chicken, 'Gaeng Masaman Gai'
The 'massaman' indicates that the recipe is of a 'musselman' or islamic origin. It probably owes something to early Portuguese influences, and is similar in concept to the 'sour and hot' Goan style vindaloo dishes.
By Thai standards this is usually a fairly mild curry, so we find it's a good starting point.
This version is a guaranteed winner but takes a bit longer to make than our other Massaman recipe:
