This complex Cambodian curry is similar to a Thai massaman curry - rich and dark with lots of aromatic spices. The origin of the recipe is the same - Muslim traders travelled to the region, bringing dried spices from India that were then mixed with fresh local ingredients such as lemongrass and kaffir lime to make the dish. It’s served here with a fantastic Kampot pepper sauce to add extra zing and heat.

Such an unusual but amazing combination of flavours. We absolutely loved it (and I just ordered 3 more!) The pepper sauce when tasted on it's own is a tangy shock...but once added to the meal it takes it to a higher level. Once 'lockdown' is over we will be feeding this to our friends.
Wow this was amazing we loved the flavours. The fragrance and taste was really different and the Kampot Pepper sauce really brought out the flavour. It doesn’t look the most attractive dish but the flavours were excellent. Another curry from another part of the world ticked off the list!
It's great to hear that this recipe encouraged you to try some new flavours from a different part of the world! Happy spicing!
4/5/22 - nice spicy dish and left overs made great curry butty!
A Cambodian curry butty sounds incredible, we'll have to try it ourselves!
We have made many, many dishes from The Spicery books but this has to be my favourite. Next level delicious! Such complex, rich flavours. Thank you
