A totally delicious way to serve roast chicken. The Massaman gravy keeps it moist and flavourful beyond belief. With the roast potatoes and vegetables cooked in the pan this Is an incredibly easy and time-saving dish to prepare. Scrumptious!

Ingredients

1 packet of My Thai Curry Massaman curry paste.
1 can of coconut milk
1 chicken, 2 kg (or scale recipe)
700g small potatoes
Vegetables of choice. I used green beans sweet Chillies and tender stem broccoli.
One small piece of ginger and a lemongrass stalk (optional).

Directions

Bash up the lemongrass stalk if using and chop some ginger and insert into the cavity.
Brush some of the curry paste, especially the oil, over the chicken. Cover loosely with aluminium foil and place in an oven preheated to 200°C for 40 minutes.
Add potatoes to the pan rolling them around in any oil or juices from the chicken and return to the oven without the foil and cook for a further 40 minutes. In the meantime, add the rest of the curry paste to a small pan and add the can of coconut milk and bring to a simmer whilst stirring.
Pour the curry paste coconut milk mixture over the chicken and stir the potatoes around and add the vegetables. Return to the oven for a further 15 minutes, I’m fine with my chicken burning a little on top as the skin crisps but adjust your oven shelves to your own preferences.
Remove to a carving board and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy!

Recipe Note

As always using the “right” type of coconut milk is a game-changer. See here.

I’ve done this a number of times and every time it is delicious and works perfectly. Makes a real change for a Sunday roast and everything in one pot. Just ordered some more paste again 😀

This recipe is definitely a must cook. Did not take long to prepare and cook. The final result was absolutely delicious. I used brussel sprouts, mangetout and baby corn. My wife was very pleased with the results. Will definitely make it again. Thank you for posting it online.

So glad I have this recipe. I’ve made it a few times now but tonight I made it with your red curry paste. Absolutely the best yet. Even my wife and daughter who are not the greatest curry fans loved it. I do it with tenderstem broccoli, peppers and red onions. Amazing recipe.

Cooked this chicken Massaman dish the other evening. Simplicity itself, resulting in one of the nicest chicken dishes I have had. Cook it again? Most certainly.

I cooked this with chicken pieces and yellow curry paste as I’ve a daughter who can’t eat spicy food at present. It turned out really well with great flavour and the minimum of heat. I didn’t use onions but added green beans. These pastes are so reliable. They are my ‘turn to’ when I want something easy and authentic.

Thai Green Fish Curry

June 07, 2026

This is an incredibly simple dish to prepare. It can be made in minutes with fresh or frozen fish, the only caveat being to choose fish steaks instead of fish fillets if possible as they hold together better when cooking. Also, if using frozen fish allow it to defrost first. You can also choose the level of spice you desire as our Green curry pastes comes with three different spice levels! I'm using the Bangkok Green curry paste which is a medium heat here but you can also check out the Mild...

So, even if you think you may never make Thailand’s favourite dessert you should still watch the video just to listen to the foot tapping Issan music to perk up your day! This recipe is at its best when mangoes are at their best. Typically this will be from April to September for mangoes from Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. These are best found in Asian grocery shops, not as cheap as the supermarket varieties because they are picked at the height of ripeness and exported by air.

Crying Tiger, The Makeover!

June 19, 2025

Crying Tiger beef has long been one of our favourite recipes especially during the summer months when alfresco dining and barbecues abound. Recently I have started to take the dish beyond the original recipe, especially if I am cooking for a group of people. I love Crying Tiger whichever way it is prepared, but there is no doubt that this method of preparation takes it to a different level. The reason for this is that the state is cooked using the Reverse Sear method. This results in a perfec...
