Nyonya Fish Sambal/Sauce

We Malaysians are a colorful lot. We are in fact the colors of Malaysia. We may bitch, we may complain and we can be at logger head over literally every small matter in Malaysia, yet when it comes to food, we all compromise. We are truly the food pride of the world. Wouldn't you agree Malaysians? Food is like a glue or gum which binds all of us together and every occasion must be associated with food, and food and food. Nyonya Fish Sambal/Sauce? What must I say. One of it in our Malaysian food composite. From the straits of Malacca and also straits of Penang where all things spices nice started and slowly, Nyonya cuisine becoming part and parcel of our Malaysian food eating and living. How do we cook Nyonya Fish Sambal/Sauce? Follow this recipe of mine and you will be in the good hands of your own hands cooking. Fried fish tipped into sambal paste and the aroma of kaffir lime leaves. Bang! The revelation and explosion of Nyonya cuisine (Sambal Tumis Ikan Pari, Assam Fish Curry, Kangkung Belacan & Chilli Soy Fish).

Malaysian Fried Mee

The street style Malaysian (Malaysian Indian Chicken Curry & Malaysian Indian Chicken Curry) Fried Mee and the Chinese style fried yellow noodles. Of course, obviously, you have a choice, like I have already told you, for a plate of Malaysian Fried Mee at hawkers stalls, Then again, nothing like home made right? We opting for the ingredients we like in fried mee and my this version is primarily seafood (Tom Yam Fried Mee Hoon Home Made Curry Mee). You definitely have the liberty to adding pork or chicken, but I kept it to seafood for a halal version. Malaysian Style Fried Mee. Yellow noodles, prawns, fish balls, fish balls, beansprouts, chives, soy sauce, of course we need chillies. Tastiness. Sumptuousness. Delightfullness.

Masala Mutton Curry

Mutton and curry in one. Mutton of course, like I have already told you, the meat we Indians can't ditch aside for whatever matter (Mutton Parathal) and the curry story (Malaysian Indian Chicken Curry & Malaysian Indian Fish Curry). How do we cook this Masala Mutton Curry? Nothing complicated if you are asking me. Pretty much our pantry friendly ingredients and nothing you really need to run around looking for. Not any specific unknown ingredients on the whole. Blended/grounded ingredients mixed with plain chilli powder and turmeric powder for masala/curry paste and then, cooked step by step, alongside, spices, tomato, potato and mutton (Mutton Kurma & Mutton Dalca). The outcome? Get ready for a taste of mutton curry heaven.

Malaysian Indian Chicken Curry

Its all, if not all the time, mostly curries. Curries for my Indian other half-half (Malaysian Indian Fish Curry, Mutton Parathal & Crab Curry) and maybe, for the rest of Indians too? Otherwise, all hell can break loose when its a meal. Not as literally war and fire, but you will be given a major indication. Duh! Indian men and curries? What else is new? This authentic chicken curry speaks for itself. The splendidness. The wondrous all things spices enlivened Malaysian Indian Chicken Curry. Oh, I must mention almonds and coconut blended/grounded alongside for the masala or curry paste as well.

Devilled Prawns

The Devilled Prawns of the Portuguese Eurasian community. How do I know? Where did I pick up making Devilled Prawns Portuguese Eurasian style? From my Eurasian friends. They and me. We have been friends for the longest time and one of them handing over her recipe for devilled prawns. Quite a long list of ingredients and me, tweeting the originally of the recipe and I must stress that the master key for devilled prawns is the spice paste. Of course, the rest of the ingredients as well. Devilled Prawns. Exciting. Vibrant. Appealing. Tantalizing. Succulent prawns in various role play of tastes, thick spicy and full of aroma gravy.

Malaysian Indian Fish Curry

My Malaysian Indian Fish Curry. Any different compared to the rest of the Indian fish curries from other parts of the world? I don't know. In fact better not for me to comment. But if you asking about this My Malaysian (Sambal Tumis Ikan Pari, Fried Kembung Assam Sauce & Chilli Soy Fish) Fish Curry, I can tell you pretty much. My own mix of curry paste (Assam Fish Curry) out of store bought spice powders and I added radish. Radish? Indeed. Have you tried? Fish curry with radish? You should. Wouldn't you agree that sometimes we want to vary the type of fish curry we make and and this, Malaysian Indian Fish Curry? Oh what a fish curry joy. Simply one of the best and simply for striking your fish curry food cord.

Sambal Tumis Ikan Pari

My style to Sambal Tumis Ikan Pari? Different. Not the standard sambal kinda and stingray in one. Why? Haha! Basically I blended the ingredients for sambal (Assam Fish Curry, Chilli Soy Fish & Sambal Bilis Petai) and this raw sambal (Fried Kembung Assam Sauce) tipped over stringray placed on banana leaf and cooked by placing the wok/kuali lid atop. That's its foodies and the outcome? Our Malaysian Malay style to cooking ikan pari/stingray. Our Malaysian herbs scented, spicy and tangy Sambal Tumis Ikan Pari.
