My Malay friend taught me how to cook this Ayam Rendang (Rendang chicken), and usually I prefer creamy (more gravy) type of Ayam Rendang, thus usually I don't add kerisik (toasted coconut)...
These herbs/ingredients are must have items in cooking a good Rendang..
After mix all blended ingredients and chicken, in cooking process..
The background are those ketupat palas parcels (palm leaves) that i bought from wet market and to fill the parcels with glutinous rice and cook it, this is best to serve with Rendang.

Rendang! Can I have some? *drool*
Oh my tummy is rumbling just looking at those pics. I miss ketupat and rendang so much, waaa! Thanks for the recipe, I usually make beef rendang, but must try this chicken version.
Thanks for taking part in MM :) Love having your support.
I can already see that this rendang is extremely yummy. It has all the fresh herbs in the bowl. This will definitely go well with some ketupat or better still with lemang.
Sonia, you're my sifu! I don't know how to make ketupat lar!! For my rendang, I prefer dry type with kerisik. Sedapnya! I like both rendang ayam and daging!
