Loading...Sayur Lodeh is a Malay vegetable curry that goes well with hot rice. It is popular in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. The flavour is light and slightly spicy and not too heavy like other curries can be. It’s easy to prepare and cook; and the outcome of a wholesome curry vegetable is worth it.
