Explore 95 massaman curry recipes by ratio
Each dot is one recipe, placed by the two numbers you pick: an ingredient in grams per can of coconut milk. The dashed lines are the medians, so each quarter of the chart is one way of leaving the middle: more of both, less of both, or more of one and less of the other.
It opens on curry paste and meat, fish or tofu: of the main ingredients (a median of 20 g per can of coconut milk or more), the two recipes disagree on most for their size. The middle half of recipes use 25 to 68 g of curry paste per can of coconut milk. Meat, fish or tofu: 74% of recipes use some, most of those 316 to 698 g per can of coconut milk.

Reading it
A cloud that climbs from left to right means recipes with more of one ingredient tend to use more of the other; one that falls means the opposite; a round cloud means the two are chosen independently. What moves together measures that for every pair, and Styles looks for groups of recipes that sit together on all of them at once.
Each number is the recipe's grams of that ingredient group divided by how many cans it uses, a can counted as 400 g.
