Chicken Shrimp Curry LaskaBrr! I have officially declared it Snowvember. It took a while to get here, but the snow just keeps coming. All the ski resorts are rushing to open new terrain for their opening weekends. I am definitely going to have to get out there soon. But for now, I am cuddling up in my apartment with a nice bowl of this Malaysian curry.

Malaysian cuisine RawSpiceBar Curry LaskaThe spices in Malaysian curry laska remind me more of an Indian curry than a Thai curry. My blend from RawSpiceBar has coriander and turmeric combined with citrusy lemongrass and earthy notes of galangal root. Be sure to add the Sambal Oelek, a common blend of ground chiles, vinegar, lime and garlic, used widely in Indonesia and Malaysia, to add some spice to your bowl.

  1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until combined.
