Main Dishes • Canadian
Description
Thai Massaman curry is more aromatic than spicy: it features cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg. This is uncharacteristic for Thailand, and such curry is referred to as 'child-friendly' here. There is a belief that this version of curry made its way to Thailand from Iranian cuisine, but the inclusion of fish sauce is a distinctly Thai characteristic.
