Cuisine of Singapore & Malaysia – Saturday 08 August 2020, 5.30-7pm

1) Roti John - minced chicken & egg sandwich from Singapore food courts

2) Curry Laksa - special seafood recipe, noodles, spicy curry, toppings

3) Satay - Classic Malaysian recipe, peanut sauce

The original fusion cuisine. Since Malaysia has 3 major ethnic groups viz. Malay, Chinese & Indian , It has the most interesting combination of ingredients one can imagine. It is common place to see Indian spices, oyster sauce and candle nuts in the same recipe.

I’m sharing 3 of my favorite easy to recreate recipes from the food courts of Singapore and the streets of Penang, the food capital of Malaysia.

Most of us know Bali as the popular travel destination but Indonesia has many more regions with varied food and the nicest people. Bali being a Hindu Island has the greatest Pork and vegetarian recipes and the rest of the country being Islamic has superb chicken & meat recipes.

I’m sharing 3 quintessential recipes which are known globally and are favorites at every Pan Asian restaurant in India.

Sri Lankan Cuisine – Saturday 01 August 2020, 5.30-7pm

1) Kiribath with Kukul Mas (chicken) curry - Coconut rice, spiced chicken curry, special curry powder

2) Kottu roti - Street snack with roti,chicken, eggs, veggies and curry

3) Devil prawns/potato - Stir fried prawns, spicy sauce, coriander

With its largely Buddhist Sinhalese population it’s a great Island cuisine with lots of fish, coconut, spices and herbs. It has a lot of influences from Tamil (they are the second biggest ethnic group) and Malay cuisines, due to its geography.

I’m sharing a few recipes which I picked up travelling around the beautiful country for a few weeks. I’m going to be sharing recipes like Kiribath, the famous Jaffna Curry powder which we will use to make the kukul mas curry (chicken) , the Sizzling Devilled prawns and the street favorite Kottu roti.
