Malaccan Devil's Curry with Prawn Fritters and Sambal Kecap
A deliciously hot and tangy curry from Malacca, Malaysia...
SERVES: 4
Malacca has been a strategic spice trading post for centuries, and its rich cultural heritage is reflected in the cuisine. The cooking is mainly locally influenced, but Portuguese settlers of the 16th Century introduced two very important ingredients - chillies and vinegar - which both appear here in this aptly named fiery curry.
We're serving it with crispy prawn fritters known as cucur udang (commonly sold by Malay street vendors) and a deliciously sweet, salty and sticky sauce called sambal kecap. The curry spread is complete with the addition of a delicately spiced coconut and turmeric rice and refreshing cucumber kerabu salad.

One of our favourites so far - succulent chicken with a lovely creamy coconut rice and a fresh crunchy salad. The prawn fritters were the best bit though!
Everyone enjoyed this one! Nice and spicy.
Great to hear that everyone loved it! The fritters look great!
This was a super tasty curry. We liked it so much that I’ve ordered another pack of the same spices.
When it's nice, do it twice! Happy spicing!
A wicked evening cooking up a feast this NYE! Thumbs up all round
Yum- this looks like a fantastic feast to celebrate the New Year! Glad everyone enjoyed it, thanks for sharing and happy spicing!
Loads of chopping but once prepped easy to put together. Prawn fritters fab!
Nice one - hope it was worth the work! Happy spicing!
Our first try and it was AMAZING!
Great job, Deborah - we're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed your first spicebox! And those bowls are just gorgeous!
Our first Spicery recipe. And wow! The flavours were amazing and everything complemented each other perfectly! Genuinely surprised how good the flavours were. And different to our usual recipes. Loved it. Can’t wait to see what’s next on our Friday Night curry subscription:-)
Yum - this looks delicious, Nick. Great job on your Spicery debut! We can't wait to see what you make next month!
The kerabu and sambal kecap complimented the curry perfectly! The prawn fritters were also very scrumptious. Highly recommend!
That all looks really delicious, Peter - great job with this one! We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed all the different components!
