Chicken Rendang (Malaysian Rendang Chicken Curry) 【冷當咖哩雞】


There are many types of curries in Malaysia, this Rendang Curry chicken is the signature "Dried" curry, the gravy of curry was simmered down to mere minimum, the tasty and creamy gravy coats each and every piece of the meat and gives a thick flavorful taste to the curry.

冷當咖哩在馬來文化,尤其是米南佳寶(Minangkabau)文化裡,是不可或缺的大菜,婚慶佳節是一定會有的。這道咖哩帶點微微的甜味,湯汁慢火燉至收濃,然後加上烤香的椰絲,味道濃厚乾香,非常好吃。

2. 把椰絲再次放入食物料理機裡,加入2 1/2 杯水,攪拌30秒,再倒入乾淨的布裡,擠出二遍(薄椰漿)備用。(或用1杯的冷凍椰漿兌上1 1/2 杯的水代替)。

5. Bruise the lemongrass and galangal, set aside. Cut chicken into big pieces about 1/2 the palm size, marinate with meat curry powder for at least 30 minutes.

It goes perfectly well with Nasi Lemak

5. 香茅去老皮,切段用大刀拍拍,蘭姜切大塊,也用大刀拍扁。雞肉切成半個巴掌大,加入咖哩粉拌勻醃至少30分鐘。

6. 在一口鍋裡把濃椰漿(頭遍椰漿)倒入煮滾,收濃至出油為止,倒入攪拌好的辣椒糊,加入香茅和蘭姜,煮滾。

7. 加入醃好的雞肉塊,翻勻,大約五分鐘後,加入二遍椰漿(薄椰漿),煮滾之後轉中小火,不加蓋燜燉 1 1/2 - 2個小時或至雞肉變軟,加入鹽和糖調味,加入剛剛磨好的椰粉(Kerisik)繼續燜燉至醬汁收濃即可。
