Sova's Malaysian Curry Noodles

Sova Pather

The Malaysian Noodle dish was introduced to me by my sister-in-law, Sova Pather. She is a very caring mother & wife who loves to cook for her family. She enjoys trying out new recipes and experiments with various ingredients. She gives credit to Ken Horn, the creator of the original recipe for Malayasian Curry Mee,(Noodles) Recipe.

Sova cooked the Malaysian Noodle Curry for us when we visited her recently. Everyone enjoyed this delicious, exotic looking, very nutritious, yet easy to make dish. She served it with a salad that was a nice complement to the spicy, rich noodles.

The recipe for the salad that was served with the noodle curry can be accessed at Rosa Tomatoes, Peppers & Cucumber Salad

I have strayed a little bit from Sova's excellent recipe, just reducing the amount of chili powder, to ensure that the dish is palatable to most tastes.
