Peace be upon you
Since I'm still on raya holidays, I cooked Chicken Rendang for our early lunch on last week ; Tuesday. Oh heaven, sebab during raya festive I tak makan banyak rendang because we all tak buat rendang for this year raya. Makan rendang at my neighbours place aje. Kalau kat rumah orang tu biasa lah.. hanya dua tiga cubit saja dapat makan hihi.
Ingredients

1/2 chicken (cut to small pieces)
2 tsbp tumeric powder
1 tsp salt

2 tumeric leaves (finely sliced)
10 bird's eye chilies *
1/2 cup chili paste
2 tsp tumeric powder
2 tbsp dry coconut paste (kerisik)
1 asam keping (garcinia atroviridis. You can substitute with 1 tsp tamarind paste)
2 cups vegetable oil
5 cups of water
2 cups coconut milk
Salt to taste
Method
Clean the chicken and drain. Rub chciken with tumeric powder and salt. Heat oil in a wok and fry chicken till lil bit brown or half cooked. Drain the excess oil and set aside.

Add in the fried chicken and mix them well. Add in the water, salt, asam keping, kerisik and cook for half an hour or till the water almost absorbed. Add in coconut milk and tumeric leaves, cook for another 20 minutes or till the gravy thicken (you have to stir accordingly to avoid the coconut milk become lumps)
Turn off the heat and serve with hot fragrance Jasmine rice.
Note : You all boleh guna minyak gorengan ayam tadi kalau tak nak membazir. :)
Ada sesetengah orang masuk terus ayam tanpa goreng separuh masak, but mine I lebih suka goreng sekejap. And ada juga sesetengah orang masak rendang taruk daun limau purut, pun boleh! Sebab I kadang-kadang pun masuk juga daun limau purut tu. Cuma kali ni I tak masukkan. Ia akan lebih wangi gitu. I juga suka tabur lebihan daun kunyit masa hidang sebab lebih aroma gitu!
I juga tak masukkan gula sebab rasanya dah cukup manis. Tak perlu gula pun.. hihi
Selamat mencuba!
Love,
Honey
Ada petua...cakap kalu taruk daun limau purut rendang cepat basi
ReplyDeleteTak pasti lah Nadia. Tapi so far kalau I masuk daun limau purut ok je. Kalau nak simpan sampai esok, I masukkan dalam fridge.
DeleteAs Salam honey...
ReplyDeletecicah ketupat pulut pun sedap tu...
Salam Ana,
DeleteYe ye.. ketupat daun palas atau pun pulut pasong! Oh my.. terliur dah!
Sedapppnyaa....kak pun baru-baru ni balik kampung buat rendang ayam masuk daun limau purut juga. Yang tak habis tu masuk dalam tempat beku. OK ja...Kak rasa kalau tak mau letak dalam fridge kena hangatkan dia sampai kering betul. Baru dia tak basi...
ReplyDeleteYa betul tu Kak Mala. Macam raya tahun lepas saya masukkan daun limau purut. Mak tak simpan dalam fridge tapi dia keep panaskan and tahan sampai esoknya.
