This is deffinetly a meal for two busy nurses. Slow cooked meals are also the best for the day after to take to work.

Massaman is my absolute favourite curry, though the couple of times I tried making it, it tasted nowhere near as good as from the restaurant. I would love to try this recipe and see if I can finally have it whenever I want. Thanks for sharing!

Massaman is my favourite curry which I first tasted in my brothers cooking. Then I started buying the sauces and all of them are good and quick to cook. The cheaters way of course …
