Gulai (ms) is a type of spiced stew commonly found in the culinary traditions of Indonesia, Malaysia and other parts of Maritime Southeast Asia, including Brunei, Singapore and southern Thailand. Closely associated with both Minangkabau and Malay cuisines, it is characterised by a rich, aromatic sauce made from coconut milk and a blend of ground spices, typically including turmeric, coriander, chilli and other local aromatics. Gulai is usually prepared with meat, fish, offal or vegetables and is typically served with rice. In English, it is sometimes described as Indonesian curry or Malay curry.
