Curry Feng is one of the featured recipes in Mary Gomes’s The Eurasian Cookbook. It is a Christmas specialty best eaten a day old, when the meat and liver soaked up all the goodness of the curry gravy. The pork can be substituted with chicken and liver. The Feng curry powder can be purchased from the spice shop at most wet markets. Just ask the boss to mix coriander powder, turmeric powder, fennel powder and cumin powder for you. This dish can be eaten with French loaf or steamed rice.
