Masaman Curry is another Thai Curry but the word massaman is not a native of Thailand, it seems to have been derived from the Malay word masam, which means, "sour". The flavoring for Massaman curry is called Massaman curry paste although ready-made pastes are now readily available but with all those artificial flavoring they are nothing in taste compared to homemade pastes prepared with fresh ingredients.
