600 g beef (brisket, gravy beef, or shank)
cooking spray
1 large onion, sliced
salt
400 g coconut milk, settled- don't shake
6 tablespoons massaman curry paste (bought or made)
500 ml water
2 cinnamon sticks
2 bay leaves
3 waxy potatoes, peeled and diced in 2-3cm cubes
1 -2 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon grated palm sugar
1 tablespoon tamarind paste or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, crushed

1
Trim meat of excess fat and sinew and cut into 2-3cm cubes.
2
Heat the oil in a heavy-based pot and fry the onion until brown.
3
Add the meat, season and continue to brown all over.
4
From top of the coconut milk tin, scoop out the thick cream and add to the pot.
5
Add curry paste, lower the heat and cook gently for about 5 minutes.
6
Add the water, remaining coconut milk, cinnamon and bay leaves and simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
7
Add the potatoes and cook for another 30 min or until the meat and potatoes are tender. You may need to add a little water as the curry is cooking.

---TIP---.
11
Shaving palm sugar can be a pain, especially when the sugar is a little dried out. I buy it in discs, so now I just pop a disc in a cup with a little water (about 1 T) and microwave it on high for 30 seconds. Stir, and you will find it dissolves. You can then add this liquid to your curry to taste.
