Serves 2
400g beef, cut into well pieces (can use other meat)
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 cup potato, peel and cut into big chunks
1 tablespoon masaman curry paste
1 tablespoon tamarind
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 cup cashew
2 pinches cardamom
2 leaves bay leaf
1. Heat coconut milk and masaman curry paste in a pot over low heat, and stir until you see the red oil bubbling up (about 5 minutes).
2. Add the meat and continue stirring. Add half a cup of water or enough cover all the meat.
3. Add the rest of ingredients, except for potatoes, onion and cashew. Stew for 40 minutes or until beef is getting tender.
