Nyonya Tamarind Curry Sauce 200ml

The Origin

This dish originated in the Straits Settlements, particularly in regions like Malacca and Penang, where the Peranakan community flourished. The gravy embodies their knack for creating bold, balanced flavors by merging local Malay ingredients like tamarind, chilies, and lemongrass with Chinese cooking techniques. The result is a tangy, spicy, and deeply flavorful dish that perfectly complements the fresh seafood abundant in these coastal areas.

It was often prepared for special occasions or family gatherings, its tangy aroma filling homes with a sense of warmth and tradition. The dish also served as a testament to the Peranakan community’s creativity and their connection to the land and sea.
