Massaman curry is a fusion dish that combines ingredients from both Thai and Indian cuisines, along with influences from Persia and the Malaysia.

The dry spices like cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cardamom are a key part of the dish, giving its unique, warm flavour profile.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potato into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).
Pop the chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
Stir in the rice and 0.25 tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.
Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Next, halve and peel the onion, then cut each half into 4 wedges. Trim the carrot, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Slice widthways into pieces about 0.5cm thick.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on high heat.
Once hot, add the chicken thighs and onion wedges. Season with salt and pepper.
Fry until the chicken is seared and browned on all sides, 4-5 mins, turning frequently. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
Once browned, transfer the chicken and onion to a plate and set aside for now.
Return the (now empty) pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the carrot and stir-fry until tender, 4-5 mins.
Add the red Thai style paste and North Indian style spice mix. Stir-fry until fragrant, 1-2 mins.
Stir in the coconut milk, soy sauce, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).
Bring to the boil, then return the chicken and onion to the pan.
Stir into the curry sauce and simmer until the sauce has thickened and chicken is cooked through, 6-8 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, cut the lime into wedges.
Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred the thighs into small pieces.
When ready, stir the roasted potato and peas through the curry. Simmer until piping hot, 1-2 mins.
Add a squeeze of lime juice, then remove from the heat.
Taste and season with more salt, pepper and more lime juice to taste. Add a splash of water if it's a little thick.
Fluff up the rice with a fork and share between your bowls.
Top with the chicken massaman curry.
Serve with the remaining lime wedges.
Enjoy!
