Used to eat it as often as I could when I visited southeast asia
That plating in particular looks like a stainless steel prison toilet
That's how it's traditionally served.
Its in a wok.
One of the most delicious dishes I've had as a fan of curry though I've only ever eaten it at a Malaysian restaurant and not homemade.
This is a pretty normal aesthetic for food in South and South East Asia so it looks amazing to me..Seems like the appearance of food is very culturally subjective.
Is it easy to make?
I am by no metric an expert, hell I am barely proficient, as I found a recipe online after I got back from Malaysia, but it's somewhat simple. It just takes a lot of time and a lot of ingredients that isn't easy to find where I live.
That is the problem I find with a lot of more complex Asian dishes. It's impractical to stock a bunch of ingredients for 1 meal that I otherwise won't use for anything else. Obviously got soy sauce and curry powder though.
But I have loads of rosemary and sage as that grows in my garden. Goes nicely with roast potatoes.
I mean, it looks like any Indian or curry dish, in terrible lighting. I'm sure something could be added to make the color more appealing. And yeah, that plate looks nasty.
It reminds me a bit of the “mud porridge” that we liked to make in a concave tree stump in the schoolyard when I was in preschool.
