How to Make Garlic Bread with Peri Peri Butter (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Garlic Bread with Peri Peri Butter is a fusion delight that embodies Malaysia’s multicultural cuisine, blending aromatic garlic, spicy peri peri butter, and local herbs. While garlic bread is a global favourite, the Malaysian twist comes from incorporating local ingredients like daun limau purut (kaffir lime leaf), serai (lemongrass), and a touch of cili padi for heat.

Perfect for lunch or a light meal, this vegetarian dish caters to modern Malaysian tastes while preserving traditional culinary values. In Malaysia, garlic bread is commonly enjoyed in cafes and homes, loved for its comforting aroma and crispy texture.
