Happy 2008 to everyone!

Hardly can blog, since kids were home for holidays.

Aahh! Let's talk about what I made here.

This dish is a Malay food called Chicken Rendang.

The preparation takes awhile, since needed grinding of ingredients, but the taste; I like it.

1lb chicken

Ingredient A:
2 stalk lemon grass /serai - ground
1 inch galangal / lengkuas -ground
1 tbsp chopped ginger - ground
2 tbsp chopped garlic - ground
1/2 cup chopped onion - ground

3-4 chillies & 1 small tomato - grind to make a paste

Ingredient B:
1/4 cup shredded coconut - roasted and ground fine
1/4 cup peanut - roasted and ground
few kafir leaves / limau purut

On the stove, in a heavy pan, add 2 tablespoon of oil, then include chicken and all ingredients from A. Keep stirring as it cooks. Don't forget to add salt to it. When the chicken is all cooked, add ingredient B to it, continue stirring for 5 minutes.

Then ready to enjoy! Serve with rice.
