Instructions

- Use a blender or food processor to mix the garlic and shallots into a smooth mixture.
- Warm a saucepan over a medium heat and add oil. Sauté the puréed garlic and shallots until they’re fragrant.
- Add the massaman curry paste and let it sizzle for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour in the coconut milk, add rosdee seasoning powder, tamarind paste, palm sugar, and salt. Simmer until the sugar has fully melted and the sauce bubbles up again.
- Finally, sprinkle in the crushed peanuts, give the sauce a final stir, and allow it to thicken slightly before taking it off the heat. Enjoy!
