AUGUST: Friday Night Curry Discoverer - Nyonya Curry with Spring Rolls and Chilli Sambal
Fulfilment Date:

A lamb curry containing incredibly tender meat and potatoes in a rich and spicy sauce

More info

The word ‘Nyonya’ is a respectful term for the female elder of the Peranakan community - descendants of Chinese migrants who settled in Malaysia then intermarried with the locals. Nyonya cuisine is a mixture of classic Chinese ingredients such as star anise, cassia and soy sauce with fragrant, citrusy flavours familiar to Malay cookery such as lemongrass and lime leaves. Here we’re making a lamb curry containing incredibly tender meat and potatoes in a rich and spicy sauce. We’re serving the curry with fantastic homemade veggie spring rolls, a sweet tamarind soy dipping sauce, spicy chilli sambal and a beansprout and cucumber salad known as kerabu.
