About Ayam merah

Ayam Merah, originating from Malaysian cuisine, is a rich and flavorful dish featuring chicken cooked in a spiced tomato-based curry. The vibrant red color comes from a blend of fresh tomatoes, chili, coconut milk, and aromatic spices such as turmeric, ginger, and lemongrass. Packed with protein from the chicken, this dish provides essential nutrients for muscle repair and energy. Coconut milk adds creaminess but also contributes saturated fats, so moderation is key for heart health. The spices used in Ayam Merah, particularly turmeric, boast anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may benefit overall well-being. Typically enjoyed with steamed rice or flatbread, it’s a comfort dish that combines bold flavors with a satisfying texture. While indulgent, the dish can be balanced by pairing it with vegetables or opting for lean cuts of chicken to enhance its nutritional profile.
