This Cambodian curry is similar to a Thai massaman curry - rich, dark and complex with lots of aromatic spices. The origin of the recipe is the same: Muslim traders travelled to the region and brought dried spices from India with them that were then mixed with the fresh local ingredients (ginger, lemongrass, lime leaves, etc) to make the dish. It’s served here with a fantastic Kampot pepper sauce to add extra zing and heat. Also on the side, we’ve got some prawn fritters known as num pa kon chien with a sweet, fiery chilli and garlic sauce to dip them in, and a fresh green mango salad.
