DEVIL CURRY
This is a relatively hot curry which is usually served during Christmas and other special occasions by the Cristao (pronounced Cristang) community in Malacca, Malaysia. They are descendants of the Portuguese invaders who married locals during their reign in Malaysia. This recipe uses candlenuts and galangal; candlenuts are hard tropical nuts used in Southeast Asian cooking and available in Indian or Asian markets. Galangal is a rhizome similar to ginger with a hot, ginger-peppery flavor, used primarily as a seasoning. It is also available in Asian markets.

DEVIL'S CURRY
This curry is devilishly hot, with a slight sweet and sour flavor. This dish also tastes best when made the day before. It's a great curry if served immediately, but the flavor really deepens after 24 hours in the fridge. Prep time includes marinating time and time spent soaking the dried chili peppers.

- Toss in the chicken AND the marinade, and stir until the chicken begins to brown. Keep cooking and stirring for 3 minutes, then pour in the water.
- Bring to a boil and add the potatoes, vinegar, and palm sugar. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minute, or until the potatoes are tender.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will make a big difference in your curry.
- Bloom Your Spices: To release their full flavor, bloom your spices in hot oil before adding them to the curry. This will help to develop their flavor and complexity.
- Use a Good Quality Coconut Milk: Coconut milk is a key ingredient in many devil curries. Choose a good quality coconut milk that is thick and creamy. Avoid using coconut milk from a can, as it is often watered down and has a less rich flavor.
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking them will make them mushy and bland.

Devil curry is a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its rich, creamy sauce and tender vegetables, it is a dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make a devil curry that is sure to impress your friends and family.
