I have always wanted to make Massaman Curried Rice, mostly to see how the paste is made and what makes it taste superb. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe, I made this for dinner (fortunately had all the ingredients in stock) and it was super fantastic. My family was going for seconds! Thank you!
