I love Malaysian food, and one of my favourite dishes is Malaysian Chicken Curry. Especially when paired with hot roti canai 🙂
The additions of red chilies, lemongrass, and coconut milk really make the flavours pop on this curry. It is mellow, and creamy with just the right hit of heat. I hope you get to try this recipe at home 😀
Full recipe listed below. I hope you enjoy this video 🙂
