====Description====
Thai curry dish


====Ingredients====
  *Neutral oil: 2 tbsp \\ \\ 
  *Maesri Massaman curry paste: 4 oz (one small can) \\ \\ 
  *Coconut Milk: 400 mL (1 can)
  *Tamarind concentrate: 1 tbsp
  *Fish sauce: 1 tbsp
  *Light brown sugar: 1 tbsp
  *Peanut butter: 1/2 tbsp \\ \\ 
  *Red chili powder: to taste \\ \\ 
  *Protein of choice: about 1 lb \\ \\ 
  *Roasted unsalted peanuts: 1/4 cup
  *Sweet potato: ~1.5 large, cut into ~1 inch chunks

====Notes====
  *If you are cooking with beef or lamb stew meat, I recommend pressure cooking. The steps are essentially the same except that you should add meat + 1/4c water after chili powder and pressure cook for ~15 min. Then add potatoes and peanuts and pressure cook for another 5 min. This avoids overcooking the potatoes.

====Instructions====
  -Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-heat. Add curry paste and stir-fry for about a minute until fragrant.
  -Add coconut milk, tamarind, fish sauce, sugar, and peanut butter. Stir to combine and bring to simmer.
  -Add chili powder to taste.
  -If you are cooking with chicken, add it now.
  -Add potatoes and peanuts. Simmer covered until they are tender (about 20 min).
  -If you are cooking with shrimp, add it now, and simmer for an extra few minutes to cook through.
  -Add water to reach desired consistency. Serve with jasmine rice.
