Gulai

Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes

Gulai is a spiced stew found across Maritime Southeast Asia, especially in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore and southern Thailand, made with a rich, aromatic sauce of coconut milk and ground spices including turmeric, coriander and chili, along with lemongrass, galangal and ginger. It is typically prepared with meat, fish, offal or vegetables and served with rice, and traces its roots to Indian cooking brought across the Indian Ocean by maritime trade, which was then adapted with local ingredients along the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra.
