AUGUST: Friday Night Curry Discoverer - Nyonya Curry with Spring Rolls and Chilli Sambal
To be sent on:

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.

Amazingly delicious. I did make it into a vegan meal changing the lamb for aubergine and peppers.

For a first time making it. It took me 3 hrs. The Chilli Sambal is very hot and could be classed as redundant. But all well generally.

All the elements came together so deliciously. I’d have never thought to make my own spring rolls but this recipe made them so easy!

This meal was absolutely amazing. Really easy to follow instructions and super tasty. We couldn't get any filo pastry, but found a recipe online for spring roll wrappers that worked perfectly. Can't wait until next month!

A delicious dinner. Tender lamb pieces in a beautiful sauce. The chillli sambal is spicy and the spring rolls were really great fun to make. We can’t wait to make this again.
