Published May 18, 2019 Updated Nov 03, 2024 Curry chicken with potatoes is the most common chicken curry recipe in Malaysia. Everywhere you go where curries are served, you will find this type of chicken curry. For the Nyonya in Penang, chicken curry is especially popular and often served with nasi kunyit which is Malaysian coconut milk and turmeric-infused sticky rice. In fact, there is a Nyonya ritual that celebrates the first month of a new born baby. Called “mua guet” or 满月 in local dialect, this celebration comes complete with a nice food package. In the old days, the food package was packed in a delicate and beautiful Nyonya wood basket that contains chicken curry, nasi kunyit, and a few other goodies. I often make chicken curry here in the US and I love serving the it with roti canai or naan. You can buy frozen ones from food stores but they are so easy to make at home.
