Jamie cooks with Poo | Thai Massaman curry

How are he, food tubes? I’m going to cook with Poo, with Poo all the way from Thailand.

And we make an authentic delicious recipe –

– this is the real thing. Sincere Thai cooking.

Today we make Massaman curry.

We make it with beef, but you can use any meat you want.

And it will be great.

How nice that you are here today.

Thanks.

It’s nice to have you here.

So, what we have here are the herbs and the fresh ingredients.

Fennel, throw it in the pan.

A teaspoon of fennel seeds and a teaspoon of cardamom seeds.

And some coriander seeds.

And cloves.

A teaspoon of cloves.

Also a teaspoon of black peppercorns.

And some chilli.

Stir fry the dry ingredients, let it smoke a little bit.

The cardamom, you can test it.

And peeling.

You can see that Poo is cracking them –

– and if you look into her hands, we want the seeds.

Poo has pulverized the cardamom –

– and I put the herbs in a bowl.

What are we doing now Poo?

The fresh ingredients, we have: lemongrass –

– we cut a half stick.

So you only use the lower soft side?

And then: galanga root.

A few cm piece of galanga root.

This is almost the same as ginger, if you can not get it use ginger.

This is very hot, how hot do you want it?

Low fire?

High fire.

Here we have coarsely chopped garlic and onions.

Do everything in the wok.

This is the first time I see dry-woks with fresh ingredients.

Today I am the student.

Is this good enough?

Yeah.

This is a bit toasted, nice and dry.

Just enough to let go of the taste.

And what is happening now?

You add a bit?

Yes, little bits are easier.

And then the fresh ingredients.

That’s where the fresh ones go.

Can you help me?

Aha and now you add the spice mix.

If you look at this, Poo has a great book.

That is really brilliant.

You can order it on her website.

You can find the details at the end of the video –

– check it out –

– it is the cream of the crop for Thai recipes.

A very good book.

So … pulverized, Cinnamon?

Cinnamon. 1 teaspoon.

Take a look here!

Muscle balls.

Whooo!

Say muscle balls.

For all girls who watch food tube –

– if you make Massaman curry like Poo ..

Come on Poo, show us what we have.

Come on, let’s see those muscles.

And a little coconut.

And baked … Massaman curry paste.

Here we have two teaspoons of your curry paste.

We cook some milk away –

– so that only the fat of the coconut remains.

Then the beef in it.

We have 400g of a piece of flank.

Roast a little and then we add the coconut milk again.

Roasted peanuts. Exactly enough.

A full hand with peanuts.

And … some water.

As much water as coconut milk.

Ttamarind, add a little bit and taste.

You can add something.

And bay leaves.

Laurel leaves, bay leaves are great.

Beautiful.

And … sugar.

You use palm sugar?

In large parts of the western world we use refined white sugar.

This is not so badly processed, and …

Sometimes you can not get it, you can use white sugar, gives almost the same result.

Yes, of course.

Well here we have the raw cut onions –

– and some potatoes.

This is a whitish potato, just like a new potato.

Fish sauce, how much?

Two teaspoons.

This whole curry is about the balance, right?

Not too hot, spices, sour, sweet and salty.

And then the onions go in.

Now we set the fire a bit lower.

And let’s simmer it a little to get the meat tender –

– about an hour. Then we see you in an hour.

Ok, let’s see –

– the sauce is already a lot thicker.

How do we serve this Poo?

You can eat it with white rice.

Beautiful.

Awesome.

This is the elegan, sided, concealing kiss –

– and hug of a curry …

… that I have ever received.

Poo? … You are great!

Thanks!

My pleasure.

Until next time people –

– from me and Poo …

How do you say day?

La-Kawn.

From me and Poo … La-kawn!
