It tastes quite similar to Ayam Masak Merah, a dish of chicken that is cooked in a similar sambal sauce, except that there isn&#8217;t any tomato sauce in this prawn recipe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My mum makes this dish once in a while too, but her sauce is a lot sweeter and thinner than mine, which is perfect for eating with rice. As I am making this for the first time (I rarely cook any prawn dishes!), I have decided to make the sauce a lot thicker (and spicier!!!), just to see how it tastes like first.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Warning: it is really really spicy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In any case, I am looking forward to a great Hari Raya Puasa break that is coming up at the end of July.
