Masaman Chicken Curry

Submitted by Lady Lisette

"This is warm and comforting. Feel free to use as little or as much of the curry paste as you like, it can be rather strong. Serve with rice. Peas tossed into the sauce at the last second are a nice addition too."

Used lite coconut milk & reduced fat peanut butter, also cut down on the amounts of fish & soy sauce by about 2/3. It's odd that sugar is listed in the ingredients but never mentioned in the recipe proper. We ended up using around a teaspoon and a half of curry paste. :d
