Coleslaw with Creamy Dressing

October 28, 2021|, ,

Indian and Malay food is known for their fiery but flavoursome curries turned down by a cooling sambal. This coleslaw can be seen as a type of sambal served in small portions or as a proper salad where everybody helps themselves from a large serving platter. The dressing is creamy, almost like a thin mayonnaise, flavoured with a hint of curry, flavoursome, but not hot.
