About this dish
Devil's curry, also known as kari debal in Kristang, is a very spicy curry flavoured with candlenuts, galangal, mustard seed and vinegar from the Eurasian Kristang (Cristão) culinary tradition in Malacca, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Indo-Dutch diaspora (where it is known as Ayam ore Daging Setan). It was historically served one or two days after Christmas and on other special occasions. Kristang cuisine blends the cuisines of Southeast Asia with a western-style cuisine inherited from Portuguese colonial rulers. Debal Curry traces its roots to the Goan Vindalho which also features vinegar as an important component inherited from Portuguese culinary traditions. Other popular Kristang dishes include Eurasian Smore (a beef stew) and sugee cake.
