Chicken or Prawn Javanese Beer Curry image

This is a smooth, creamy and fruity curry recipe I found in the October 1979 Bon Appetit magazine. Someday that old magazine will fall apart completely and I'll feel much better if this recipe is recorded somewhere.

Just tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! The curry was flavorful and complex, with just the right amount of heat. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the prawns were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again soon!
