Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

You can add vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, chopped carrots and green beans if wish in the curry sauce.

If you find the massaman curry mix still a bit too spicy, add more coconut milk and a tablespoon of tomato paste to mellow it out. If you do not have massaman curry paste, use one of your favourite curry paste like Thai green or yellow curry instead.

Serve with rice or on a bed of mashed potatoes.
