做法
- 将浓椰奶舀入厚底锅中,中火加热并搅拌五到六分钟,直到'破乳'——油分离并积聚。这是基础;不要急。
- 加入咖喱酱,在分离出的油中煎炒四分钟,用锅铲压开。颜色应从砖红变为深棕红,厨房里弥漫着烤香料的味道。
- 加入牛肉翻炒,使每块都裹上酱汁。倒入剩余椰浆和一杯水。塞入小豆蔻、肉桂和月桂叶。
- 煮至微微沸腾,盖锅慢炖,每二十分钟搅一次,共炖90分钟。牛肉应接近软烂但还未散开。
- 加入土豆、红葱头和花生。开盖再炖30到45分钟——土豆应吸饱酱汁,牛肉一勺即散。
- 用罗望子膏、棕榈糖和鱼露调味。味道应先甜浓,后酸,再有低沉的辣感。离火静置十分钟,配茉莉香米和青柠角上桌。

文化背景
玛莎曼源自十七世纪定居大城王朝的波斯和印度穆斯林商人——它的香料组合(小豆蔻、肉桂、丁香、孜然)属于莫卧儿风格,而非泰国本土。在穆斯林人口最多的泰国南部,玛莎曼常用鸡肉或山羊肉烹制,在婚礼和开斋节上桌。多年前CNN将它评为'世界最佳菜肴'后,它成了游客必点;但最诚实的版本仍要在北大年的家中才尝得到。
