Nutty massaman Thai vegetable curry with rice

Step 1: Rice

Always wash rice before cooking, drain off excess water with sieve.

 

Gas Hob (100g rice with 150g water)

  • Bring to boil on medium to high heat. (Take off the lid if the water starts to overspill.)
  • Turn down to low, cover with lid and cook until water is fully absorbed. (approximately 10 minutes)
  • Turn the gas off and rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

 

Microwave (100g rice with 200g water)

  • Microwave on high for 10 to 15 minutes with no lid
  • Take out of the microwave, cover with lid and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 2: Vegetables and Sauce (while the rice is resting)
  • Cut the potatoes into small cubes and fry them with a little oil in a frying pan over medium to high heat and season with a little salt.
  • Continue to cook them until they are golden crispy outside, then add some water and cover with a lid.
  • Continue to cook the potatoes until they are 80% done, then transfer them into a pot.
  • Add some oil to the same frying pan over medium heat, stir fry all the vegetables and season with a pinch of salt.
  • Transfer everything into the pot with the potatoes, add sauce and continue to cook until potatoes are fully cooked and vegetables are soft to your liking.(add a little water if the sauce gets too thick.)
  • Sprinkle the nuts on top.
