Nyonya Chicken Curry
The word ‘nyonya’ is a respectful term for the female elder of the Peranakan community - descendants of Chinese migrants who settled in Malaysia and Singapore then intermarried with the locals. Here we’re making a chicken curry consisting of incredibly tender meat in a rich and spicy sauce. It's served with a spicy chilli sambal - the region's favourite condiment!
