Ever wondered what goes into Malaysian food that makes it so unique? As any local will tell you, one trip overseas is enough to have us pining for the flavoursome fare waiting at home. This is not to downgrade food in other countries by any means, but the spices and herbs used in traditional Malay, Chinese, and Indian cooking makes them unforgettable – and quite frankly, incomparable.
The best part is, they not only taste divine but have multiple health benefits too! As it’s Ramadan and soon-to-be Raya season, here are some benefits of common spices you’d find in rendangs, marinades, and curries (to name a few).
Arguably the king of Malaysian spices, you’ll find dried chili in every Malaysian kitchen, even if you don’t find fresh ones. This is because dried chillies have a stronger flavour and pack more of a punch in terms of taste. Rich in vitamin C, its capsaicin content (which is what makes it spicy) is used to treat sensory nerve fibre disorders, reduce arthritic pain, control diabetes, and clear sinus congestion.
We’re looking forward to devouring food with these and many other Malaysian spices that we couldn’t cover here. They bring a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘comfort food’, because it’s comforting to know that they provide so many health benefits in addition to the tastes of Malaysia we love. To those observing Ramadan, we wish you Ramadan Mubarak!
