This Malaysian stew is ranked the world's best
A traditional Malaysian dish has been named the best stew in the world.
The dish, known as kari ayam or chicken curry, earned the top spot in a list of global stews published by TasteAtlas, a popular online food and travel guide.
It is commonly found in Malaysia and parts of Indonesia and is made with chicken, coconut milk, garlic, onions, ginger, tomatoes and a mix of spices like turmeric, cumin and cinnamon.
What makes the dish unique, according to TasteAtlas, is its traditional cooking method. kari ayam stood out for its rich flavours and deep cultural roots.
It is often prepared in a clay pot, which helps to lock in flavours as the ingredients simmer slowly together. A final touch of lime juice and fresh coriander is usually added just before serving.
The curry is usually eaten with rice and is a staple at both family tables and local food stalls across Malaysia.
Other dishes on the list included Thailand’s Phanaeng Curry, Armenia’s Dzhash, India’s Murgh Makhani, and Iran’s Kalle Pache.
