What is massaman curry and what does it taste like?

Massaman is a Thai curry with roots in Persian and Indian cooking — it's richer, milder and more aromatic than a green or red curry, with warm spices like coriander, cumin and clove alongside lemongrass and galangal. The coconut cream and slow-cooked beef give it a depth that's closer to a hearty braise than a typical curry. Tommy's version adds tamarind for a gentle tang and baked potato in the filling, which soaks up the gravy as it cooks.

How long is Tommy's beef massaman roti pie slow cooked for?

Six hours. Tommy slow cooks the beef chuck and mince together for six hours until the meat is genuinely tender and the gravy has developed the kind of body you can't shortcut. It's then finished with coconut cream, fresh coriander and potato before being wrapped in roti paratha and freshly frozen — so all that cooking time comes with you, ready in under 10 minutes at home.

Is Tommy's beef massaman roti pie halal?

Yes this meal is. The beef, pastry and all other ingredients meet halal requirements. If you're looking for halal frozen meals delivered across Australia, FoodSt stocks a range of handmade options from accredited home cooks. You can filter by dietary preference on the menu page.

Six hours in the pot. Ten minutes on your table.

Massaman is one of those curries that can't be rushed - and Tommy doesn't try. Chunky beef chuck and mince are slow cooked together for six hours with onion, shallots, garlic, lemongrass, galangal, tamarind and Thai spices until the beef is genuinely tender and the gravy has thickened into something you'd want to eat on its own. Coconut cream, potato and fresh coriander finish it - then the whole thing gets wrapped in Tommy's light, flaky roti paratha. The result is a pie with the kind of depth that only comes from time and patience.

Made with love by Tommy ❤️
