Rendang

 


Ingredient A
Chop them all and then blend it in a food processor until fine.
6 Onions
15 Shallots
10 Garlic
5 cm long of Ginger
8 cm of Galangal
3 Lemon Grass
Chili (some may use the bird peppers else you can use the dried ones - usually they are red in color)
** you can opt for either or, the only different it’ll do is the color of your rendang.
** the amount of this cili is again depending on your tolerance level towards spicy food. I usually go for loads of them say maybe 150 gram?  

Ingredient B
Finely slice
1 big Turmeric Leaves
10 pieces of Lime Leaves
 
Ingredient C
1 tea spoon of Turmeric Powder
2 pieces of tamarind skin
Sugar to taste
Salt to taste

Ingredient D
Kerisik (toasted coconut)

Ingredient E
600 grams Beef (cut them into cubes) / Chicken (cut them into desired size)  

Ingredient F
1 liter of Thick Coconut Milk
** I would usually go for fresh coconut milk, as it taste better than the instant one. ;)








How To
 

1.    In a large wok, add in Ingredient A and Ingredient E
2.    Wait until Ingredient E soften and the water starts to lessen (if you opt for chicken you don’t have to wait that long)
3.    Once the mixture has become concentrated, you can throw in the Ingredient F (Coconut Milk) :P
4.    Leave it simmer on medium heat for maybe around 15 minutes don’t forget to stir  them ;)
5.    Now add in turmeric powder, Ingredient D ( Kerisik / Toasted coconut) followed by the leaves, both lime and turmeric leaves until it blend well with the meat.
6.    Lower the heat to low, and simmer for 1 – 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is really tender and the gravy has dried up.
7.    Add salt, sugar and the sliced tamarind to taste
 

HAPPY COOKING!

Those who know me know that cooking is my escape from the real world. It brings such satisfaction when my loved ones enjoyed the food. I was blessed with the opportunity to learn how to cook from my mother. She’s a great cook really. So, many years ago I made some videos for my sister who happen to live continents apart from us. She still is. Having picky eater baby, she struggled with this department of cooking. I remember we cook together over Skype for Eid. That has become our tradition. Then I decided rather than giving her the recipe, I shall try to create a video instead. It’ll be handy as she’s 7 / 8 hours behind us. She doesn’t have to wait for me whenever she wanted to ask for any recipe. She could just watch and listen to the video. I made few videos then uploaded it on youtube. The best place to keep them videos. Not sure what happened in between but life happens definitely; I stop making video and I remember deleted some of them. But I recall peeking ...

Ingredients Green layer (Bottom) 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of rice flour 4 cups of water * few drops of food colouring in green or if you have pandan leaves, you can blend it with water, sieve and use it. White Layer (Top) 1 cup of Coconut Milk 2 and a half cups of water 6 tablespoons of rice flour 1 teaspoon of salt Jar or any container. How to:- Prep the green layer first for this will be at the bottom. Mix the green layer ingredients together. Make sure there's no lump Sieve - guess what, if you don't skip this step, the percentage of having lump is to non-existance. Trust me, for I learned my lesson from the hands-on experience. lol Now, this is where the magic begins. No fancy pot, just use whatever that you have, place it on the cooker, electric or gas. The keyword is "Stir" therefore make no mistake. Whatever happens whilst making this "kuih" you must ensure you keep on stirring it. You can start with maximum heat, as i...

Lamb Kofta

What you'll need Mince Lamb - 700 grams 1 Onion - Chop it 4 Carrots - grated Capsicum (Red) - chop it. 2 Tomatoes - Chop it 3 Stalks of Spring Onion Note: Make it as tiny as possible. How you do it, it’s up to your creativity. :) Spices  (1 teaspoon each) Garam Masala Corriander Powder Chili Powder 2 Table Spoon of flour Salt to taste How To Mix everything together. I leave this mixture overnight. It tasted better. Most probably because the longer you leave it, the seasoned it'll be. So if you have a skewer, go ahead and grab it. Else just shape it in whichever shape that you'd love. Some will go for the ball shape. the other will do the cylinder shape. Long or short? Your call. Rule of thumb; regardless if you're using the grill of the pan don't turn it until they are well sealed. You'll end up transferring the meat to the grill. Patience is the key. Now, Happy cooking. xx Amy H
