Thai-Indonesian Rendang Curry image

Taken from About.com and tweaked to make it perfect and healthier. This is a "dry" curry so the sauce will stick to your chicken and infuse it full of flavor. I use boneless and skinless chicken tenderloins but alternatively, you can cut up 1 whole chicken into medium-sized pieces. ENJOY!

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

8 boneless and skinless chicken tenderloins
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more if you like spicy!)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
7 ounces good-quality coconut milk (not cream!)
2 tablespoons fresh finely chopped lemongrass (usually found in a tube refrigerated near the produce section)
1 onion, peeled and quartered
4 garlic cloves
1 thumb-size piece ginger or 1 galangal
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce or 2 teaspoons Braggs liquid aminos
2 1/4 teaspoons tamarind paste or 2 1/4 teaspoons vinegar
1 tablespoon agave nectar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon shrimp paste or 1 teaspoon substitute 1 tbsp. fish sauce
2 whole star anise
fresh cilantro
dry shredded coconut

Steps:

  • In a food processor combine all ingredients except Chicken and Whole Star Anise. Blend until smooth, taste and adjust as needed: for more salt add Fish Sauce; if it's too sour, add more Agave nectar.
  • In a large saucepan lay the chicken pieces in one layer and pour the sauce over them. Turn chicken pieces to coat well. Add the whole star anise.
  • Cook uncovered until chicken is done, this time will vary depending on if the chicken has bones in or not. For bone-in chicken, simmer until the sauce reduces by half. For boneless, remove chicken then reduce the sauce by half, returning chicken to pan to reheat when you are ready to serve.
  • Serve atop fragrant rice and garnish (optional) Enjoy!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rendang curry turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

This rendang curry was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland and the beef was a bit tough. I wouldn't make this again.

The beef in this rendang curry was a bit tough, but the flavors were still very good. I would recommend using a different cut of beef, or cooking it for longer.

This rendang curry was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very flavorful. I would recommend using less chili peppers if you don't like spicy food.

This rendang curry was an absolute delight! The flavors were incredibly rich and complex, and the beef was so tender it melted in my mouth. I served it over jasmine rice and it was the perfect meal.
