That's pretty much a variation of how we make it...but a couple comments:

Some use cashews, most do use peanuts...personally I do cashews or skip it.

I don't see fish sauce mentioned, but depending on what paste you use you may need fish sauce. Personally I have started using oyster sauce, in place of fish.

Brand of paste makes a big difference. If you can't get your recipe how u like, switch to a different brand. Kang matsaman....or maybe aeng

Balance can be tricky. I see lime juice in that recipe, but didn't see what they use for sweet. Most pastes will need some sweet. With massaman I like honey, agave or brown sugar. I tend to find more sweet needed....than most recipes call for...

That's all I got for now, I usually keep massaman simple - onion, potato, chicken or beef plus the sauce

Hope it turns out the way you want!
