Sambal Petai with Prawn

Pungent...either you like it or you don't !


But from many sources petai has lots of goodness; high in fibre & iron, contains vitamin A, B6, B12, rich in potasium, magnesium & other minerals..

..so why not ?


Preparation: dried chilli, garlic, shallot, belachan...blend all together into paste

Wash & deveined the prawn, peeled the stink bean (petai), chopped the onion, mix tamarind pulp with water and strain.

For busy...or lazy people ! I have a solution...



...buy this "LIZA'R CHILLI CURRY SPICES" it will save you half the time...and still taste good


Medium flame, add in the oil and saute the paste for approximately 10-15 min or till fragrant.

Throw in the prawns & tamarind juice, and bring it to a boil + -3 min.

Add it the stink bean (petai) & onion stir fry for another 2-3 min,...season with sugar/salt

I like to garnish with mint leave or sprinkle some ginger flower (bunga kantan) on top for the nice aroma

Serve with steamed rice will be the best.

A piece of advise,..stay away from your loved ones a day or two....!
