Peranakan-Style Mushroom and Squash Kapitan Curry
Introduction
Every time I visit Singapore, I’m hosted by my friend Kristin, who makes it her mission to take me to the best places to eat during my stay. We decided that our favourite regional dishes – chilli crab, deep-fried bread, chilli wontons and char siu bao – might be a little difficult to recreate in a tin, but that one of the Peranakan or Nyonya dishes would work perfectly. This curry is usually made with chicken, but works beautifully with mushrooms and squash.
