Massam Curry

This is a great dish that you can make in your crock pot for those days when you don’t have much time. You can throw it together in the morning and not worry about it until evening. It is also a great way to stretch your chicken. I had this curry at a Thai restaurant this summer and knew that I needed to recreate it. Off I went to the Asian market near my parent’s house to stock up on curry paste to get me through the year. I went a little crazy and bought five different kinds. What can I say, I love curry… Someday I would like to make my own paste but since it’s hard for me to find all the ingredients I need I just content myself with the paste. For now… Palm sugar can be found at Asian markets in paste or block form
