    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.
