Home cooking attempt — Nasi Lemak from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Nasi Lemak from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting curry leaves right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The bold and complex result was rewarding once I got it right.

Malaysian cuisine reflects the Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous Orang Asli traditions of a multicultural society. I served it with teh tarik as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Nasi Lemak yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
