Malaysian Lentil and Squash Curry

Beef Rendang

  This is fast becoming my favourite curry. The first time I tasted it was on holidays in Malta. We were keen to try the restaurant Zest in St. Julians but the night we went was the one night of the month where they served a buffet menu. I was a bit disappointed at first, […]
