Malaysia is a really blessed place; Being a multicultural country, we spent years learning and adapting from different cultures and races, including when making dishes!
Much unique taste has been created and this is especially prevalent in Malaysians’ favorite dish – curry!
In this article, we have picked 9 unique and yummy curry recipes for you to try.
