Common card · No. 317766

Nasi kandar (Kedah Malay: Nasi kandaq; Jawi: ناسي كاندر) 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, side 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 (Ipoh), nasi dalca (Penang), nasi lemak royale (Alor Setar), nasi maduri (Perlis), nasi kalut (Kedah), and nasi tomato (Penang and Kedah). In Malaysia and Singapore, nasi kandar is predominantly linked to Muslim-owned establishments that specialise in Indian curry rice, while the terms "banana leaf restaurants" and "curry houses" are typically used to describe establishments operated by non-Muslims.
