Hey there! Great question! Thai yellow curry and Massaman curry are both delicious, but they have some key differences. Yellow curry is usually spiced with turmeric, giving it a vibrant yellow color and a slightly sweet, tangy flavor. Massaman curry, on the other hand, is influenced by Persian cuisine, featuring a blend of spices like cinnamon and cloves, which gives it a richer, more complex taste. So, while they share some similarities, their flavors are pretty distinct! Hope this helps!
