Curry is a popular spicy dish here in Malaysia, enjoyed by people of all races. Malays are known for their "dry" curry like rendang, while Indians have a "wetter" variant that tastes equally great (and hot!). However, most people have a misconception that usually only meat is cooked with curry. Actually, there's a lesser-known dish that uses vegetables to cook a curry dish. Ingredients
