Penang Chicken Curry with Basmati Rice

What is it?

Penang-style curry sauce coats pieces of chicken with basmati rice on the side, a format that leans on coconut milk, peanuts and curry paste. Compared with green or red curry, Penang usually runs nuttier and a touch richer, with moderate heat and a more rounded, savoury edge. Dineamic's frozen meals are chef-prepared and built for reheating, and this one follows that template with rice on the side rather than mixed through. Penang is less common in the lineup than familiar Thai-style curries, so the flavour profile lands somewhere between satay and curry without being exactly either.
