Green Rendang (Rendang Hijau)

 Another green dish.... of course it is because I have green chilies in abundance.... let's enjoy it while I can. My Emak normally cooks green rendang (she calls it Rendang Minang) only during Idh but she used beef instead. My version here is a lot simplified version... well you know me by now, that I always cook something simple and quick... that's the life of working mum!

I'm really tired right now... feel like putting up match stick at my eye lids. Gotta go to bed early otherwise expect migraine attack the next day. I'll share the recipe later, may be tomorrow. Enjoy the pix in the meantime....
Hi again! Here is sharing the recipe. I used less amount of Santan than normal rendang in order to cut down fats.

Serves 5 persons
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 Chicken - cut 
10 Shallots*
10 Green Chili*
10 Chili Padi*
2" Ginger* (* blend) 
3 Lemongrass (blend but I just bruised) 
1 tsp Turmeric powder
1 Turmeric Leaf (finely sliced) - forgot to put :)
1 bowl Thick Santan
1 tsp Sugar
Salt

METHOD:
1. Heat up a scoop of oil & stir fry blended ingredients*, turmeric powder, lemon grass until fragrant.
2. Add in chicken, turmeric leaf, salt, sugar & stir for few minutes until chicken partly cooked.
3. Pour in 1/3 coconut milk & stir until thicken.
Repeat with the remaining coconut milk, adding 1/3 at a time until thicken.
4. Serve with rice or glutinous rice.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
 Hahaa.... dah dua hari berturut2 masak hijau ni... kan Along tengah kaya dgn cili hiju ni. Kali ni masak Rendang Hijau pula.... Emak Along setiap tahun tak pernah miss buat Rendang Hijau Daging tapi Emak panggil nama Rendang Minang. Rendang ni pedas nya lebih menyegat di bandingkan dgn Rendang Pedas atau Rendang Hitam tapi istimewa dgn harum cili nya. Along permudahkan resepi nya sebab nak cepat siap.... biasa lah kan...hehe. Santan nya pun di kurangkan untuk kesihatan. Kalau nak yg kaw2 boleh lah bubuh santan banyak2 tapi jangan lupa rajin2 jogging tau....haha.

1 st Serbuk Kunyit
1 helai Daun Kunyit (hiris halus) - kali ni terlupa nak bubuh :)
1 mangkuk Santan Pekat
1 st Gula
Garam

CARA2:
