Chicken and Vegetable Curry Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

Kimba’s Winter Weeknight Recipe On a really cold weeknight, instinctively I search the pantry for ingredients to make a quick and easy, delicious curry. This only takes approx. 45 minutes to cook and prepare simply because you eliminate the process of making the curry paste from scratch. However, it takes more than just a packet of Malaysian curry paste and coconut milk to satisfy my palate. So I’ve created my own version of a simple curry that is wholesome and very satisfying… enjoy 🙂 Ingredients: 1 tbsp Canola Oil 200g Malaysian Chicken Curry Paste 1 tsp minced garlic 1 tsp … Continue reading Chicken and Vegetable Curry Recipe

Malaysian Beef Rendang Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

Recipe provided by: Allrecipes  A classic Malaysian favorite, the beauty of beef rendang is that it is not an overly spicy curry dish… I don’t even know if it’s classified as a “curry” as Malaysians have always just put it in a way that “rendang” is almost like a category on its own! This dish has a very unique flavor, and if you play around with the quantities of sugar and chilies, a whole range of effects can be produced. Serve this dish with rice. Kimba’s Tip: For super tender chunks of beef, cook the beef in a pressure cooker … Continue reading Malaysian Beef Rendang Recipe
