Malay food

I would like to introduce Malay food which is very famous in Malaysia. The first one is Nasik Lemak. Malaysian people eat this recipe in any time; breakfast, lunch, and dinner and it is considered the national dish. You will see this recipe almost all restaurants in Malaysia. This recipe is included with the following ingredients;

1 cup rice
3 screwpine (or pandan) leaves
salt to taste
1 grated coconut

The second is Satay Penut Sauce. There are many ingredients;
350g chicken breast (can also use lamb or beef)
2 tbl spoon turmeric powder (kurkuma)
1/3 tea spoon ketumbar (corriander)
1 stalk lemon grass
3 chillies
3 shallots
2 candlenuts
1/2 piece roasted shrimp paste (trassi)
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/3 tea spoon jintan manis (aniseed)
1/3 tea spoon jintan putih (cumin seed)
sugar, salt and pepper to taste


When you have a chance to travel in Malaysia, you can test both recipes.
Moreover, these recipes are available in some restaurants in Songkhla province and three southern provinces; Pattani, Narathiwat, and Yala as well.
