It was time consuming but absolutely worth it! So much flavor, although I did put too many chilies (it was spicy as hell)

Also I know it doesn’t look pretty but it tasted absolutely amazing 🙂

    RECIPE

    ingredients:
    paste:
    – 30g seeded dried chillies soaked in hot water (very spicy, use less chillies for less spice)
    – 100g garlic
    – 100g ginger + galangal, chopped
    – 1 cup shallots
    – 2 tbsp turmeric
    – 1/2 cup oil

    spices:
    – 4 tbsp cardamom
    – 2 tbsp clove
    – 3 tbsp coriander
    – 4 tsp ground cinnamon
    – 4 pc star anise
    – 10 candlenuts

    curry:
    – 4 lbs beef chuck, cut into large chunks
    – 2 14 oz can coconut cream + water to fill cans
    – 4 tbsp tamarind concentrate
    – 4 tbsp palm or brown sugar
    – 2 tbsp salt to taste
    – 2/3 cup dried shredded coconut
    – 4 stalks lemongrass, white part only, pounded
    – 8 bay leaves
    – 12 kaffir lime leaves, torn
    – 4 tbsp tamarind paste

    instructions:
    kerisik:
    Toast the coconut in a dry saute pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until dark brown. Grind in a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder until it becomes and oily paste.

    paste:
    Grind ingredients, then add oil to heavy bottom pot and cook for around 10 mins on medium heat.

    While cooking paste, toast spices until fragrant and grind finely. Add to paste and cook for another minute.

    curry:
    Add the beef and toss to mix, then add coconut cream + water and scrape off any bits of curry paste that might be stuck to the bottom of the pot.

    Add salt, sugar, tamarind paste, bruised lemongrass, bay leaves, and lime leaves, then keep the pot loosely covered. Let it simmer on low heat for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Add kerisik and stir to combine, and taste for seasoning.

    Keep cooking until most of the liquid has evaporated, stirring gently.

    Serve over white rice.

    Consistency looks perfect, spice paste clings to the meat. From scratch it’s a hassle, but the flavors are so rewarding.

    I think a spice paste like that is called a _bumbu_ not a curry, but other than that, my Dutch-Indonesian grandmother would’ve been proud of you!

    Can think a lot of jokes here, but the recipe looks really good.

  9. Is it possible to make it look less like shit? Even if it tastes great I wouldn’t serve this to anyone

  10. Ignore the rest, i love rendang and it looks good. There is enough browning to make it savoury. Maybe try to stir a bit less to get more meat chunks.
    Man, makes me want to start up my crockpot again
