Sambal Udang is one of my favourite curry but not so much with my hubby. He avoids eating prawns. No idea what’s the reason and because of this, I had to cook only a small portion [1/2 portion].
This is a very tasty, aromatic prawn sambal. The curry is thick, just a little sourish, not really sweet and the spiciness is acceptable. Overall, I opined that it’s nice. It’s good serve with steaming hot rice and better still I would love it with coconut milk rice [Nasi Lemak] and sliced cucumber.
