  1. Simmer the thick cream from the top of the coconut milk in a large pot until it splits, then fry the curry paste in it for 3 minutes.
  2. Add the beef and brown on all sides for 5 minutes, coating it in the paste.
  3. Pour in the remaining coconut milk, cinnamon, cardamom, and bay leaves, and simmer covered on low for 90 minutes until the beef is approaching tender.
  4. Add the potatoes, onion, peanuts, tamarind, palm sugar, and fish sauce.
