Gulai Cincang is a rich coconut based lamb curry suitable for any cut of meat. It is fast simple and easy to prepare and makes for an authentic Padang style meal or side dish.

Ikan Bilis, with peanuts, is a delicious side dish with Malay or Indonesian style Curries and rice and great on its own served along side an ice cold beer.

Some people, like myself insist op making there own curry paste, for me its just a sense of achievment and joy of experimentation. That being said here is a Thai Red curry Paste recipe to get you started.

This Recipe was adapted from that taught at The Boathouse Culinary school in Phuket, it is a contemporary blend of Chinese and Thai cuisine and very quick to prepare if you have access to a Chinese butcher.
