I crave this scrumptious Malay curry all the time, especially when eaten with flaky, buttery roti canai… layers of deliciousness scooping up each bite of flavour bursting curry…. yes, please!!

A curry paste base is made up of chillis, shallots, garlic, ginger, galangal, fresh turmeric root, cumin, coriander, lemongrass, soy and cashew nuts… it’s all blitzed into a paste in the food processor. The paste is then cooked with a little coconut cream, stock and whole spices before the chicken thighs and potatoes are added. It delivers such insane flavours and really is not difficult to make… Go on… give this one a go, and I promise it will not disappoint!

Most of the time, we eat this curry with either egg noodles or rice as I don’t usually have the time or patience to make roti canai… but let me tell you, it is sooooo worth it, especially with this Malay curry as it’s like a match made in heaven! If you do want to give it a go, then use the recipe online from Rasa Malaysia @rasamalaysia, as it is totally fab.
