DiSH 203 : CHiCKEN RENDANG


 CHiCKEN RENDANG


This afternoon, Bryan and I are visiting our friends at their condo. 

We are making chicken rendang for lunch. :D

Preparing chicken rendang has never been so easy.


Everyone agrees that it is absolutely delicious!  


Finger - lickin' good ... totally!



Ozonize the chicken first ...

to remove the antibiotics and other toxic residues. 
See the yucky white substance? 
That's the toxin that is removed from the chicken.

Eeee - yewwww !!!


 The Ingredients ...

shallots, garlic, ginger and fresh chillies.


1. Blend & fry the ingredients ...

Add half a small cup of water in the blender.

Fry the blended ingredients in hot oil.


2. Add On ...
 
Add tumeric powder.

 Allow to simmer until "naik minyak..." 

or until the oil rises ...

We could have cooked directly in the pressure cooker, but my friend, has poured oil in her pan. So after we fried the chilli paste, we transferred the chicken and the chilli paste to the pressure cooker


Add kaffir lime leaves and tumeric leaves

Add a small packet of coconut milk

Add seasalt.

Use fresh milk for a healthier alternative to coconut milk.

Close the lid and turn the flame on medium high.

When the psssss - sound emerge, turn the flame down 
and allow the fire go on for another minute 
or so before turning it off. 

Break Time ...

While waiting for the magic pot to cook, we are snacking on goreng popiah (friend spring rolls) and goreng pisang (fried banana). Home fried. :D

When the magic pot is ready, remove the lid.

Turn on the fire to medium heat to dry the gravy a little.

Add a small packet of kerisik (dessicated coconut).
Continue to simmer until the curry dries up.

3. Garnish ...

with kaffir lime leaves and chilli.

Serve immediately on a bed of rice.

A closer look at my delicious lunch. :D

Yummy!!! Slurrrrrrppp!!!
 
We honestly surprised ourselves with 
the super-awesome chicken rendang. :D


Bon Appetite !!!
