Special Cuisine on Aidilfitri Celebration

Beef in spicy coconut gravy or famously known as “Rendang Daging” is the most popular dish for Muslim during Aidilfitri. Here, the recipe and how to cook 'rendang daging'.



Ingredients: Fresh galangal, fresh lemon grass, dried hot chilies, cinnamon, cloves, red pepper, onions, ginger, garlic, curry leaves, lime leaves, coconut milk and beef.

Firstly, peel and chop the galangal and cut the top of lemon grass. Crumble up red chilies and cinnamon into water plus with the cloves. After that, chop the onions, red pepper, ginger and garlic. Put into an electric blender and blend them until smooth.Put together the mixer paste, lemon grass, curry leaves and lime leaves and put into a wide non stick pan with the coconut milk. Bring to the boil, stirring it occasionally. Turn heat to medium and cook sauce for 15 minutes. Stir now and again to prevent curdling. Then, put in the meat (and salt if you like), bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for an hour, stirring from time to time. Continue cooking and stirring for 30 minutes or until the sauce is very thick and brown and the meat is tender. If the sauce begins to splatter too much cover loosely, make the rendang stir and cook until the sauce has disappeared. Lastly, remove rendang from the pan, place into a bowl and ready to serve.

Try it! It is delicious!
