Date Night in Mandalay BBE 01/19
The distinct and delicious flavours of cooking from Mandalay, Burma...
Myanmar’s location (formerly known as Burma), wedged between India, China and Thailand produces a cuisine that’s very distinctive, with combinations of flavours not seen anywhere else. The main flavourings are dried red chilli, ground turmeric, dried shrimp, garlic and onion.
Here we’ve got a rich chicken curry, tangy tamarind aubergines, some crispy fried onion & garlic flavoured with dried shrimp known as balachaung, a simple tomato salad dressed with sesame seeds and toasted chilli flakes to add at the table. For dessert we’ve got a fantastic coconut jelly served with chilli sugared fruit. Like many Burmese meals it’s an impressive spread and one that is sure to wow your date!

Great recipe. Lots of chopping items into small pieces but a meal worth investing in. Potato curry has a bit of a kick to it but is cooled nicely by the pineapple pachadi. Lots of interesting dips and extras with great mixes in flavour! We were supposed to be on holiday this week but Coronavirus meant we bought the great food to our flat instead! Thanks The Spicery for a wonderful date night in lockdown!
So delicious and fun to make!
Love when the recipe boxes drop through the door. There are all the spices you need, a clear shopping list and easy to follow instructions Have used them a few times for presents too. Everyone loves them.
Lovely as always. We thought it looked like too many chillies so used around 1/3 but could have used more, and also neither of us like aubergine so substituted with courgette which worked quite well. Though the curry and the onions were the best bits.
Burmese chicken curry was excellent. Also loved the crispy fried onion/garlic side. Tamarind aubergines were ok, aubergine is not my favourite though - just a matter of taste. Chilli fruit and coconut jelly rounded it off well. If the curry comes out as a
