Authentic Malaysian Style Vegetable Curry

Combining the good parts of the recipes I learned from a Malaysian friend and my partner's aunt who runs a restaurant on Pinang Island in Malaysia, I came up with my own vegetarian curry.

Ingredient

Food ration :

5 servings

4 tbsp

Vegetable oil (safflower or canola)

1/2

"a" Red onion

"a" Shallots

10 clove

"a" Garlic

stalks "b" Lemongrass (cut into fourths)

"b" Cloves

1 piece

"b" Star anise

"b" Cinnamon stick

Okra

Bitter gourd

Eggplant (slim Japanese type)

one packet Atsuage

Satsuma-age

1/2

Onion (sliced)

10 tbsp

Curry powder (preferably imported from Malaysia or Singapore)

Pandan leaves (optional)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Combine all of the "a" ingredients in a food processor and pulse to a paste-like consistency.

* Step 2

Grease a pot with oil, and heat the paste from Step 1. Once cooked through, add the "b" ingredients and stir-fry until the moisture evaporates, and the paste is reduced by 1/2 the original amount.

* Step 3

To prepare the bitter gourd, slice it in half lengthwise, carefully scoop out the pith with a spoon, then slice it into 8-mm thick rounds.

* Step 4

Slice the onion into thick slices.

* Step 5

Cut the okra in half, and roughly chop the eggplant into chunks (then soak in water). Cut the atsuage and satsuma-age into similarly sized chunks. Sizes can be random.

* Step 6

Add the ingredients prepared in Steps 3-5 to the pot, and stir-fry. The photo shows how it should look in Step 7.

* Step 7

Once the ingredients are cooked through, add the curry powder. Cook while stir-frying. The photo shows the curry powder I use.

* Step 8

Add enough water to cover the ingredients, then simmer for 20-30 minutes.

* Step 9

For those who are not on a diet, add coconut milk to taste (but do not let it boil after adding).

* Step 10

For those on a diet, if you prefer a richer taste, add a small amount of evaporated milk or milk.

* Step 11

The top photo shows it with zucchini. I also topped it with fried onion chips. Also, in order to show the vegetables, the photo was taken before adding the soup.
