Malaysian Beef Rendang Curry
Print is recipe
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.
