There’s really nothing more lovely than a bowl of home-made curry laksa. I used shrimp and chicken to make this, but if you want to make it fancy just skip the chicken and add more seafood like squid, mussels, fish or fish cakes. Whether it is chicken, seafood or vegetarian laksa it will be a perfect dish for a rainy day.
