Nasi kandar

Nasi kandar is a popular northern Malaysian dish from Penang, originally introduced by Tamil Muslim traders from India. The meal consists of steamed rice combined with an array of distinct curries, sides dishes, and gravies. The selection of curries consists of various blends of vegetables, seafood or meat. Other closely related regional variations of Nasi Kandar include nasi ganja , nasi dalca (Penang), nasi lemak royale (Alor Setar), nasi maduri (Perlis), nasi kalut (Kedah) and nasi tomato (Penang and Kedah). The dish name is potentially a portmanteau, nasi derives from Malay, meaning rice; while kandha' is an Urdu name means shoulder; another possible theory is that the name originated from the Malay verb mengandar - "rest on shoulders". However, both theories are aligned on its common origin - the use of a shoulder pole for transporting the food.
