Crab Curry - My Indian Malaysian Style

When crab claws and legs had made their way into Indian Crab Soup (Rasam), what must follow through? For crab body? Of course, Crab Curry, Nandu Curry, Nandu Kulumbu or Nandu Peratal. In my house, crab soup and crab curry must be side by side. Meaning? Both in tandem. Alongside each other for our meal. Crab curry after pouring crab soup on rice? Walla! This my Indian Malaysian Style Crab Curry? Including claws and legs. Imagine biting into claws and legs soaking in a spicy thick flavorful curry? Pretty much a crab curry which will shoot you right up to the stars Mutton Parathal).  

Indian Crab Soup/Nandu Rasam

Indian Crab Soup, aka Nandu Rasam. Yes, crab claws or legs into this Indian soup. Remember the humble plain and simple Rasam I have already shared with all of you? That's right. Of course, we shouldn't doubt the humbleness and simplicity of plain rasam, but trust me, crab claws or legs, no matter how big or small they are, they do pretty much elevate rasam to a higher above level. The double doze of double packing healthy power as a remedy for cold and flu or maybe even other benefits as well maybe. Anything else should I say? I guess not. Except, you should give a go this my version of Indian Crab Soup/Nandu Rasam.

Spinach (bayam) Sambar/Dhal Curry

The sambar story. Like a standard food story in most Indian households. In my house too. Though I must tell you that I am really quite tired of sambar/Indian dal curry. What do you expect? Almost so often until sometimes you can't take it anymore. Then again, if your husband is an Indian husband, you better continue making sambar. Otherwise? These Indian husbands, they never get tired of sambar. Must be because sambar is already embedded in their genes. Most probably. The sambar style today? Spinach Sambar. Leafy veggie sambar. Laced with coconut milk and wondrous aroma of spices Spinach Sambar.

Mutton Peratal

Mutton Peratal? Tell me about it? Always a pleasure right? I know. In my house, such a mutton dish is always a fancy frilly food diviners. Mutton by itself is a favourite, and when elevated alongside spices and all things nice and aromatic ingredients? Mouth packing, tummy filling and hand licking deliciousness. Of course a good heapful of potatoes is also like a must for mutton dishes? Say all you want, I personally believe that there's something about adding potatoes into mutton curries. These two ingredients, mutton and potatoes do bond and jive with each other for building Indian curry magical connection. And Mutton Peratal, trust me, tastes pretty much tastier when warmed up for next day's meal. Oh, if you like mutton peratal to be really dry, cook longer till gravy really thickens up. We on the other hand? We still prefer some gravy soaking up mutton.

Chilli Soy Fish

A fishy day today. Hahahaha! Really a fishy day. Obviously because its a fish recipe today. A no-frill, humble and I believe one of the most loved Malaysian fish style. Must be spicy, salty and tangy until we want to feel the explosion of flavours on our mouth, throat and tongue right? Exactly! Then again, it is your food right to the number of birds eye chillies because these chillies, as small as they are, trust me, they can reap your tongue apart with their extreme spiciness. Other than that, all should be well and good for the rest of the ingredients. Fish deep fried, and the spicy, tangy and salty sauce. atop. Happy cooking love.

Garden Café @ The Curve

It’s hard to miss – the decorations at Garden Café. Situated across Laundry and a few steps away from Penang Village, Garden Cafe is visually arresting in oh-so many ways. From the onset, one is greeted with the coordinated interplay of green and white colours. The ambience is set to the likes of an English garden and I envisioned people drinking tea in quaint teacups with their pinky finger sticking out. Well, reality wise… not so much.

Spicy Sardine Sambal With Potatoes

Canned sardines. I must say my savior. And sardine is actually quite a favorite as well in my house. Overall too, when we speak about Spicy Sardine Sambal With Potatoes? Tell me about spicy sardine alongside floods/banjir of Rasam on rice. Pow-wow right? All fingers swimming in rasam and spicy sardine, of course potatoes mashed in as well when tucking in? Mouthwatering right? Spicy Sardine Sambal With Potatoes. I know. My pictures are quite disheartening, but my recipe I vouch is not. Believe me. Make this my style to Spicy Sardine Sambal With Potatoes for your food love and you will believe in me deeply.
