Nok Suntaranon, chef and owner of Kalaya in Philedelphia, PA is here to teach you how to make massaman curry, her mother's preferred meal and a Thai restaurant staple understood for its silky texture and subtle, rich tastes of coconut and warm spices.
Nok explains that there's nothing wrong with store bought curry paste– so get some and get cooking. Her essential recommendations? Be patient. This aromatic curry comes together with a variety of active ingredients, including coconut cream, tamarind paste, fish sauce, and spices like cinnamon sticks, star anise, and more.

Massaman is hard to beat. Most Thai food is hard to beat
I prefer Japanese cuisine but Thai is up there as well
Massaman is the best! It’s also one of the easiest Thai curries to make less spicy if needed.
Nok is a philly legend. Best thai food of all time
My all time favorite curry. Meaty, soupy, gravy-like, filling, salty, sour, textured, and really good on a cold and rainy day. It smells like perfections and theres nothing more my stomach craves than massaman curry. I love Thai food in general, but this curry is the peak of Thai food for me.
Where are u from dude?
So many exotic spices, I am not sure, are all of those available at here. =/
Is it me, or has the lighting seemed off lately?
The new lighting on set is a bit extreme… really washes the presenters out, IMO.
Yum. Perfection
No cap she was very thorough in her explanation what a pleasant experience, I don’t even like curry but I want to try that
อร่อยสุดคือมัสมั่นต้องปรุงค้างคืนทิ้งให้เครื่องเทศซึมถึงเนื้อจะอร่อยสุดๆ
She’s so cool!
i love this lady’s energy. so kind and homely. would love to spend a day cooking with her 🥰
Potatoes & Peanuts… just 2 of the numerous foods that came from Mexico & The New World
My fav Asian curry cuisine. I’ve tried many curries in different countries in Asia, but nothing beats this for me.
She’s awesome and so is this recipe I hope she returns
She’s such a sweet lady, I love her cooking vibe 🥰🥰
She’s such a joy!
What a great recipe! I want more of Nok’s recipes!
Coconut + curry = delicious
Probably one of my favourite curry’s.
