About
Ayam Masak Merah is a traditional Malaysian dish made with chicken cooked in a spicy tomato-based sauce. It is commonly consumed in Singapore as well. The dish is usually served with steamed white rice and a side of vegetables. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of spices, including turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder, before being cooked in a blend of tomatoes, onions, garlic, and ginger. The sauce is then thickened with coconut milk and seasoned with tamarind paste, fish sauce, and sugar. The dish is usually garnished with fresh herbs such as kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, and galangal.
