Origins

According to ancient archives, the origins of this world-renowned dish can be traced back to the Minangkabau community of Padang in West Sumatra and were created, as early as 1000-1200AD when Indian traders would bring spices across the Bay of Bengal. The Minang people then began migrating to the Malaysian Peninsula to trade, bringing this spice-rich curry with them.
