Beef Curry with Pumpkin

Beef Curry with Pumpkin

This is the season of pumpkins. Everywhere you turn to, you see pumpkins as everyone is gearing up for Halloween in a few days. I love pumpkins, I use it to make pumpkin noodles, which is rather delicious. I also use it to make the best mashed potatoes (try adding a little pumpkin or kabocha to your mashed potatoes and…

Jungle Curry

Jungle Curry

Fall/winter is the best time to have curries. Nothing warms me up quite like a pot of fiery hot, spice-laden curry. I grew up with all sorts of curries back home in Malaysia: chicken curry, fish curry, squid curry, etc. And then I discovered Thai curries, which are rather different, delicious nonetheless. Anyway, I am sure you have seen Jungle…

Golden Egg Curry

Golden Egg Curry

There are very few cookbooks that I eagerly await; one of them is Naomi Duguid’s Burma: Rivers of Flavor. It’s always so refreshing to read a cookbook about a lesser-known country and its cuisine, and the award-winning Naomi Duguid did a smashing job with the new cookbook. The food photography by Richard Jung—whom photography I absolutely adore—is simply gorgeous and…

Procuring these spices from the local Indian grocery store always bring back fond memories of the “spice trips” mom and I used to take to the Little India in my hometown of…

Malaysian Rendang

Malaysian Rendang

It has been more than three years since I posted my Beef Rendang recipe. I am pleasantly surprised that to this day I still get the occasional inquiry and request with regards to protein substitution, alternative cooking methods, or the usage of a different spice mix to make the paste. Especially after September of last year, when Rendang topped the…

Laksa

Laksa

Laksa is a spice-laden noodle dish that is popular in Malaysia and Singapore; it’s a noodle dish that is quickly gaining popularity outside of Southeast Asia because of the scrumptious taste. To most people, especially the western media, laksa means curry laksa, a noodle dish in coconut milk and curry soup base. The truth is, there are many different  types…

So, today, we have Sala of Veggie Belly sharing this mushroom tikka masala recipe with us. Mushroom tikka masala is one of my favorite dishes when I have Indian buffet.
