  3. Ingredients Commonly used • Coconut • Belacan • Spices & Herbs

  4. coconut Coconut is an essential ingredient when cooking Malay dishes. The coconut flesh is grated and squeezed to make coconut milk, which is used in gravies, as well as in cakes, drinks, and desserts. Freshly grated coconut is also sprinkled over cakes.

  5. Belacan Belacan is another important ingredient in the Malay cuisine. It is a pungent dried shrimp paste, which is often combined with pounded fresh chilies to make Sambal Belacan. The Sambal Belacan acts more as a sauce to add extra taste to any dish.

  6. Spices & herbs Malay dishes use a variety of spices to give them their characteristically piquant, spicy flavor. These various herbs are skillfully blended into dishes, gravies, soups, and sauces. Fragrant herbs, such as the kaffir lime leaf and lemon grass, shallots and garlic, ginger and galangal, are used. Dried spices include coriander, tamarind, turmeric, saffron, and cumin.
