Recipe: Malaysian Roasted Curry Powder

Last updated

This recipe makes a versatile Malay-style curry powder that is super fragrant with a nice amount of heat, but you can easily adjust the amount of chillies to suit your preferred spice level.

Great for rich coconut curries, especially rendang and nyonya, making a satay sauce, or it can be used as a dry rub for meat and vegetables.
