Important Point to Note

To continuously stir the mix until fully boiled is very important. This to prevent cuddling of the coconut milk. The gravy should be smooth and shinning in texture with no sign of coconut milk cuddling. Cuddles of coconut milk indicate the dish is not cook properly. You may also use the pre pack coconut milk if a fresh milk is not readily available.

This is an authentic dish popular amongst the native Malay of Negeri Sembilan. The dish taste a combination of coconut milk flavor with enticing aroma of lemon grass and sweet greenish aroma of the turmeric leaf. A pure organic ingredient, with no preservative, MSG and other food enhancer.
