In Malaysia, this prawn curry dish is sometimes prepared with as many as forty small, red-hot chiles, making it one of the hottest dishes in the Spice Islands. I have toned it down a bit, but it is still quite hot. In some versions of this gulai, tomatoes and/or tamarind paste are added. Serve the curry in banana leaves for a dramatic presentation.
