Sambal Petai Prawn

It has been a while since I tried any new recipes. Have just been recycling the old ones due to the schedule that I am in and cooking from a daily basis has gone to only weekends. Hahahhahaahhahahah......I have indeed tried this recipe a couple of times but never came around to updating the recipe so, here it is.

A Malaysian all time favourite though not my hubby's. He absolutely hates Petai as it stinks but my maid and I love it so he has resorted to just having the prawns.

Ingredients: -

- 1 bunch of Petai
- 500g prawns (shelled, deveined and left with the tails only; season prawns with 1 tsp sugar)
- 1 tbsp tamarind paste mixed with 3 tbsps of water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 tbsps oil

Blended Ingredients:-

- 15 small onions
- 16 dried chillies
- 1cm belacan 
- 4 candlenuts


1. Heat oil and fry blended ingredients till fragrant.
2. Stir in tamarind and bring to boil.
3. Add in prawns and cook till curled up, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Add Petai and stir fry till they turn bright green.
5. Stir in salt and serve.

Ta da!!!! A simple dish........
