Musaman Curry

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 can (19 oz) coconut milk (Mae Ploy brand is my favorite)
3 tbsp fish sauce
3 1/2 tbsp sugar
1/3 cup roasted peanuts or cashews
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
3 tbsp masaman curry paste
1 lb chicken cut into stew pieces
2 tbsp tamarind liquid
3-4 medium size gold potatoes chunked

1. On medium heat, put begetables oil in a pot, then add masaman curry paste. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
2. Add 1/3 can of coconut milk, stir fry for 4-5 minutes, until it bubbles red.
3. Add chicken, stir fry for 5-8 minutes
4. Add rest of coconut milk, and 3/4 can of water.
5. Add potatoes and carrots now.
6. Add fish sauce, sugar, tamarind liquid and peanuts.
7. Simmer 30 minutes. If its too thick, add some water. If its too thin, simmer longer.
8. Remove from heat.

Serve over sticky rice. I'll post that recipe soon. I also like to add sliced onions when I add the potatoes and carrots. This is my favorite thing ever.
