Rendang Precious Treasure

My sister asked me to upload my rendang recipe, she want to make it for the break of her "fasting" month. I just copy the picture from the web, sorry...hihi. However the look of my rendang almost similar to that picture. I prefer not to wet and not to dry rendang. Rendang is always my favourite together with pulut kuning (mana badan tak naik...isk...isk). I used to cook for my family, during raya or for any season. Different people will have different style of cooking rendang. I'll always try to reduce the calories by using "low fat"coconut milk and less of using kerisik ( I prefer to make it on my own). My sister is waiting for the recipe, no need to wait any longer, so here is the recipe....

Ingredient A (Blend)
Cili Kering
Bawang merah, putih
Halia
Lengkuas
Serai
Kunyit Hidup
Buah Keras

Ingredient B
Chicken or Beef (Optional: You can try to use Kerang, Udang and Sotong)
Daun Limau Purut and daun kunyit (hiris mayang)
Asam Keping
Gula Melaka (white sugar can be used)
Kerisik (kelapa parut digoreng kecoklatan and ditumbuk sehingga keluar minyak)
Bunga lawang, buah pelaga, kulit kayu manis, bunga cengkih
Coconut milk
Salt
Oil

Methods:
1. Tumis or fry bunga lawang, buah pelaga, kulit kayu manis, bunga cengkih with ingredient A till fragrant. This will take a longer time around 15 minutes.
2. Put in the chicken/beef and stir slowly. Let the juice seal in the chicken/ beef. Beef will take a longer time.
3. After half cook, pour in coconut milk and continue stir. Let it cook for 20 minutes.
4. Put in asam keping, gula melaka, salt, kerisik, daun limau purut and daun kunyit. Cook for another 10 minutes.
