Hello everyone! Today, I'm taking you into the kitchen to cook something: Cassia Leaf Curry. It's one of my favorite childhood dishes because whenever I eat it, it reminds me of my mother's cooking. It brings back fond memories, and this nostalgic dish is back, although I don't have all the ingredients that match my mother's cooking style. Let's see what ingredients and how to make it.
Ingredients
- 300 grams of cassia leaves
- 150 grams of beef
- 80 grams of coconut milk
- 20 grams of shallots
- 10 grams of dried chilies
- 1 tablespoon of red curry paste
- 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder
- 1 teaspoon of fish sauce
- 200 ml of water
Method
- Boil the dried cassia leaves in hot water until boiling, then drain the water. Then boil again. (The cassia leaves I have are dried because I'm not in Thailand. But if you have fresh cassia leaves, you can boil them three to four times to remove the bitterness, draining the water.)
- Boil water again, then add the shallots. Add dried chilies and curry paste to water and bring to a boil. Then add the squeezed-dry cassia leaves to the pot.
- Next, add the minced meat, followed by the coconut milk. Add the coconut milk in two batches; the first batch is added now to allow the coconut to thicken and separate. Then, start seasoning.
- Once the flavors have settled, add the spring onions. If you have dill, you can add that for extra aroma, and also basil. However, I only used green onions since I didn't have any. When the green onions are almost cooked, add the remaining coconut milk before turning off the heat and preparing to serve.
- It can be eaten plain or with rice. It's delicious and has many health benefits. Anyone who wants to try this recipe can follow this recipe. I hope everyone enjoys it. I'll post a picture of it later. Thank you for your support. Have a great day!
