malaysian beef rendang

Malaysian beef rending is a spiced meat  curry  enriched with kaffir lime, curry leaves  and ketcap manis (sweet soy sauce). The ketcap manis  helps to  caramalise the flavours and gives a sweet aftertaste which is balanced  by the zestiness of the kaffir lime. The dish forms  part of the exciting malaysian street food and is characterised by a  drier texture, which is helps as the curry is served wrapped in  leaf parcels  by street vendors. We have added coconut milk to the original curry to  give it a more silky smooth texture and a milder heat rating.
