Malaysian cuisine is a melting pot of multiple styles and flavor from different cuisines. It borrows some spicy notes from India, citrusy punches from Malaysia and umami from China in some of its dishes. Here is a basic Malaysian curry powder that is going to support your dish with the right balance of aromatics. And no, the normal curry powder is not same as the Malaysian curry powder.

And when you are in control of roasting and blending it at home, you have made sure to have the best flavor lingering on your palette.
