Chef's Tip
Fish sauce adds a salty, umami undertone to this dish, but it can be overpowering for some palates. That’s why we advise to start with half the fish sauce, then add more to taste until the desired flavor has been reached.

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the rice

  • Rinse the rice.
In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and ¾ cup [1½ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm.
While the rice cooks, prepare the chicken curry.

2

Prep the curry ingredients

  • Using the bottom of a bowl or cup, lightly crush the cashews; set aside half for garnish.
  • Scrape off any seeds from the roasted red peppers; coarsely chop any large pieces.
  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.

3

Cook the chicken curry

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons [2 to 3 tsp] oil until hot but not smoking. Stir in the lemongrass paste, massaman seasoning blend, tamarind paste, tomatoes, and half each of the fish sauce and cashews and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the roasted red peppers, chicken, and coconut milk and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt, pepper, and more fish sauce.
When the chicken is almost done, prepare the cilantro.
