Curry of the month

                   
Curry is always my favorite dish to make. This month since in Chicago is still cold , so I heat myself with a little spicy from the curry.  
                          Massaman Curry or Thai; แกง มัสมั่น. Massamun is a Southern Thai dish, influenced from Malay and Indian cuisine. Thai curry refer to the dish from Thai cuisine. Usually Thai curry made from curry paste, coconut milk, meat, seafood, vegetable, fruit and herbs. The star of this dish from peanut and onion, bring the nutty flavor and sour taste in to the dish. Which is the word "Massam " means sour in Malay. 
                          Massaman curry show in a famous poem  : 
                                     
         มัสมั่นแกงแก้วตา หอมยี่หร่ารสร้อนแรง - Massaman, a curry made by my love, savory from cumin and tasty.

         ชายใดได้กลืนแกง แรงอยากให้ใฝ่ฝันหา - Any man who has Massaman curry is fantasy of her.
                   
                          Thai curry have to cook in the certain time over the stove and take for a while until it cook through. The same process as stew. I have been thinking how can I be able to cook the curry and get my chore done, " Slow cooker !!!!! " yeahhhh...... trust me this is an easy way for you to cook the curry .... just put everything in the slow cooker right before you go to work , and  Tadahhhh when you get home the smell of the curry will hit you first after you come back from work. I would call comfort food.
