I got this Rendang Daun Kunyit/Turmeric Leaves Rendang recipe from a friend , about 10 years ago.This rendang is very easy to cook. Just add everything in a pot and cook.It's also not oily, cause we didn't use oil to stir fry the pounded ingredients.Taste delicious too.
The recipe here was not spicy enough ( cooked according to my youngest daughter taste,she can't take too spicy).You can use dried chillies to replace the fresh chillies for spicyness, or add bird chillies(chilli padi).You can add kaffir lime leaves too.
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
3 chicken thigh and drumstick , separate the drumstick and thigh, become 6 pieces.
2 -3 pieces tamarind peel
3 cups coconut milk ( semi thickness)
2 pieces of turmeric leaves,slice thinly
Salt and sugar to taste
1/2 cup of kerisik
For pounded:
140 gm shallots
60 gm garlic
160 gm chilli, I used fresh chilli
4 candlenuts
4 cm of ginger
2 cm of galangal
6 lemongrass
3 cm turmeric
2 pieces of turmeric leaves ( I omitted this,cause I only had 2 pieces..lol)
Method:
Add pounded ingredients, turmeric leaves and coconut milk in a pot.
Let it boils, then add in chicken.
Cook until the the chicken cooked and the gravy becomes thick.
Add in tamarind peel.
Add in salt and sugar to taste.
Lastly add in kerisik.
Serve.
How to make kerisik:
Stir fry 1 cup of coconut in a wok until golden brown and fragrant.Pound or grind the fried coconut.

like this rendang, delicious with nasi lemak although I will tambah more dried chillies inside since we at home are very high on spicy food.

Nice blog!
Rendang is one of the most popular dishes from Padang, West Sumatra. Padang is known by their delicious meals made from coconut milk. You can make it spicy or mild, depend how you like it. :) http://www.rendangconnection.com/
