HF2: Malaysian Nonya Curry - - - Moroccan Tagine
Our 2 top picks of the month’s recipes for 2 people...
The word ‘nonya’ is a respectful term for the female elder of the Peranakan community - descendants of Chinese migrants who settled in Malaysia then intermarried with the locals. Here we’re making a Nonya duck curry containing incredibly tender meat in a rich and spicy sauce. We’re serving the curry with kerabu (a cucumber and onion salad flavoured with shrimp powder) and a fiery chilli sambal.
Tagine is actually the name for the conical cooking pot used in Morocco but it’s become known as the name for the gently spiced slow-cooked stew sweetened with dried fruit. The spicing is fairly subtle and aromatic using sweet spices like cassia, cardamon and coriander, and the sweetness of the tagine is balanced with a fiery harissa paste on the side.

Wow what a gift Couples who cook together, stay together
The Moroccan Tagine was our very first Spicery curry this evening - it was a ‘Tagine Dream’! Thank you, John.
Glad you enjoyed it John! Thanks for sharing and happy spicing!
The fragrance of the tagine spices along with the sweet apricots gave a gorgeous depth of flavour to some chicken, carrots, garlic & celery just what was left in the fridge before a big shop, yum
Yum - great job!
The Tagine mix was an addition to my first Spicery Highlights box and was absolutely lovely. Cooked it with Pork fillet instead of Lamb. It was so tender and tasty.
Looks great, Mark! Happy spicing!
Turned out wonderful, thank you so much.
Wow everything looks delicious and the couscous looks so fluffy-yum!
