What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 80 grams Lentil (uncooked)
  • 20 grams Peanut toasted
  • 260 grams Potatoes – about 2 medium – Peeled quartered and boiled (weight before cook)
  • 50 grams Massaman curry paste
  • 2 teaspoons Brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Tamarind paste
  • 2 cups Coconut milk
  • 1 cup Water
  • 3 Small onions
Directions
  1. Let’s begin with peeling and cutting the onion. I use small onion so I will just chop them in half. If you use larger onion, you can cut them into quarter pieces.
  2. You can observe by looking at the surface, when it’s cracked you will see yellowish oil floating on the top. Now, let fry our curry paste by adding ½ cup of coconut milk into a put, together with the curry paste. Stir the coconut milk and curry paste until the coconut cream is cracked, or when the oil is separate from the milk body.
  3. Add bay leaf and season the curry with sugar, tamarind and salt. Taste the curry and adjust the flavour. The flavour that you are after is salty and follow by a touch of sweet and sour. Next, you can add the rest of the coconut milk and water and then add onion. It will take about 15 minutes for the onion soften. You can let the curry simmer over medium heat. When the onion is cooked, add potatoes, lentil and peanut.

Tried asking this as a question but it wouldn’t let me submit without adding more detail to what is a pretty straightforward question.

I’m having a hard timing following Step 2. Specifically, “ You can observe by looking at the surface, when it’s cracked you will see yellowish oil floating on the top.” What am I supposed to be able to tell? By observing the top of what?
