I fell in love with this dish when a friend took me to a local Thai restaurant I dupliccated it when I got home using prepared curry paste from an oriental grocery. Serve this with Jasmine rice. —Latetotheparty

I made an account here just to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this recipe. There was a restaurant in TN that made this exact dish (just with chicken, not shrimp) that I absolutely LOVED. When I moved away, I searched everywhere to find a masaman recipe that compared and yours was spot-on perfect! I can't help but wonder if it was the same restaurant you referred to? (Lemongrass in Maryville, TN?)
