Recipe: Udang Masak Lemak Nenas (Pineapple Prawn Curry)

Udang Masak Lemak Nenas is one of our favourite Nyonya dishes. Sweet pineapples and juicy prawns in a mildly spicy, creamy sauce - we always "tambah nasi" when we have this dish. This easy recipe is my take on the dish, using store bought cili giling (chilli paste), turmeric powder and coconut milk. Do give it a try - it's delicious!

Here's a short YouTube video of the cooking process (link here):
