Among [[Malays (ethnic group)|Malay communities]], ''gulai'' holds significant cultural importance and is regularly featured in both everyday meals and ceremonial occasions. Its role in the culinary tradition is reflected in a [[Malay folklore|Malay proverb]], ''"Biar rumah condong, asalkan makan gulai lemak dan gulai [[asam pedas]]"'', reflects the high regard for such dishes, using food as a metaphor for contentment and the idea that simple pleasures can outweigh material hardship. In various regional preparations, ''[[kerisik]]'' (toasted grated coconut paste) is commonly added to enhance the flavour and thicken the sauce. | Among [[Malays (ethnic group)|Malay communities]], ''gulai'' holds significant cultural importance and is regularly featured in both everyday meals and ceremonial occasions.
