We all heard of beef rendang. We ate it and raved about it. It is definitely a Malay food. It is the first time I hear of chicken rendang. The food was already a heap in the process of being cooked when I arrived at the Ramadhan Food Bazaar. Kak Bedah, a special functions food caterer and cafeteria owner had generously shared with me the ingredients she used in her cooking. I will retrace and present her cooking in a more comprehensible manner.
1. Pound red onions, lemon grass, garlic, ginger and galangal and put aside on a dish.
2. Pour chilli powder and turmeric powder in separate bowls and add water. Mix to form a paste.
3. Pour oil into a kuali and fry star anise, cinnamon, fennel seeds, cumin seeds until fragrant.
4. Fry item 1 until fragrant and add item 2.
5. Add in chicken meat and stir fry. Add in toasted coconut and add water to boil. Sir continously.
6. Add santan and allow it to simmer. Add salt and sugar to taste.
7. Garnish with slices of turmeric leaves.
