Today is Sunday, therefore it would be great if you can cook for the whole family. I believe that the best dish is a mom's dish. Thus, I always make sure that every weekend will be the week that we spend time as a family. Not that other days are not important, but on weekends, things are much in a slower phase and you have ample of time to be in the kitchen.
This is what I cook for today. Chicken Rendang with an Indonesian flavour. Do try!
Ingredients
1 whole chicken, cut into 12 pieces
500ml coconut milk + water (if needed)
4 table spoon kerisek
10 - 15 kaffir lime leaves, sliced thinly (or you can have them whole)
2 table spoon cumin powder
2 table spoon coriander powder
salt, to taste
Blended Ingredients
3 big onions
20 bird's eye chillies
a small handful dried chillies
2 inches ginger
3 garlic
2 inches fresh turmeric
1 inch galangal
8 lemon grass
8 lemon grass
Methods
1. Put all ingredients in a wok and cook until the chicken is tender and the gravy becomes thick.
2. Make sure that you stir the mixture regularly to avoid them sticking to the wok.
3. Best served with rice, lemang or gulitinous rice.
*serves 4-6 people
