Best Malaysian Curry Recipes in the Cook Eat World
Once you unearth the magic of Malaysian food, you’ll never look back. Curries in particular form some of the tastiest treats in the world. NO JOKE, this under-represented cuisine is an exciting melting pot of flavour, colour and texture like nowhere else on Earth. Ready to discover my best Malaysian curry recipes?
I fell in love with Malaysian Curries many years ago after a trip through Kuala Lumpur and Singapore - I spent most of my time stuffing my face in food courts or slurping my way through all the street food I could logistically handle. In the years since, with countless return trips, I've collected the know-how for all my favourites - a cornucopia of authentic Malaysian curries. From the amazing, and fragrant kari ayam (chicken curry) to the glorious intense heights of beef rendang, with a few tasty treats in between. Malaysian cuisine is the jewel in the crown of South East Asian Curries, and thankfully all my best recipes are right here!
What is Malaysian Food?
Malaysian and Singaporean food is a rich, complex marriage of cultures and flavour. With its roots in many ethnicities, over time has become the flavourful, vibrant cuisine it is today. A roll-call of culinary heritage from China, India, Borneo, Indonesia, Thailand, Portugal, The Netherlands, UK and Middle East all play their part in shaping this unique, diverse and most importantly, delicious cuisine.

So psyched to stumble across your website. Malaysian dishes aren’t common in my neck of the woods in New England but we have great seafood. Looks like I’ll be very busy cooking.
That’s great to hear! As it happens I am planning an another Malaysian recipe today! Malaysian Fried Chicken – keep an eye out for that in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, seeing as you have great seafood over there, you should definitely hunt out all the ingredients for my Kari Ikan (Malaysian Fish Curry) – one of the best fish curry recipes ever!
