    It's better to use dried chillies instead of chilli powder...add galangal & lemongrass into your grounded ingredients, will give the extra aroma & better taste...This is my father in law's recipe from the authentic Malacca Portuguese family..try it!!

    Sorry to be dense, but I am assuming the candlenut is chopped and served on top of this dish?

    candlenut is very much like macadamia nuts....so if you can't find candlenut use macadamia. You definitely can't omit it, it is essential to the recipe

    What is candlenut? This looks so good but I am not sure where to buy it and could I just omit it if I can't find it?

    Just great - I love Malay food and this is one of my favourites.

    Oh and BTW, mustard in asian receipes is generally mustard powder. That's what I use

    Hi

    I was just browsing around (I'm new and great site btw) and stumbled on this recipe. I'm an Eurasian and as Daryl has correctly stated Devil Curry is a dish from the (Portuguese (spl?) descended) Eurasian communities of Malaysia and Singapore. So, it isn't a Malay dish, it's a Portuguese-Eurasian dish, originating from Malaysia or Singapore (jury's still out on this one). I'm really proud of my heritage and I had to point that fact out. This is a yummy dish and it goes really well with slices of crusty baguette too. My mum makes this SOOOOOOOO HOT, we call it "Rocket Fuel Curry" Makes our eyes water but we can't get enough!

    This dish was pretty easy to make and delicious. I thought it might be too spicy for my kids, but they loved it. I would like to try more Malay food

    According to gourmetsleuth.com, raw Brazil or macadamia nuts can be substituted if you can't locate candlenuts.
