2. Yeah.. Here’s the recipie for Massaman that I am planning ong trying

   RECIPE INGREDIENTS

   1 tablespoon cooking oil
   1 onion, chopped
   2 cloves garlic, minced
   1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger
   1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
   1 teaspoon ground cumin
   1/4 teaspoon cayenne
   1/4 teaspoon turmeric
   1 teaspoon salt
   1 cup canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
   1/2 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk or heavy cream
   1/2 pound boiling potatoes (about 2), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
   1 1/3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
   1/2 cup chopped peanuts
   1/2 pound plum tomatoes (about 4), cut into wedges
   3 tablespoons chopped cilantro

   RECIPE METHOD

   In a large saucepan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, five-spice powder, cumin, cayenne, turmeric, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in the broth and then the coconut milk; bring to a simmer. Stir in the potatoes, cover, and cook over low heat until they are almost tender, about 12 minutes.

   Add the chicken to the sauce, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the peanuts, tomatoes, cilantro, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Turn the heat off, cover, and let steam until the chicken is just done, about 2 minutes longer.
