Thai-Indonesian Rendang Curry image

Taken from About.com and tweaked to make it perfect and healthier. This is a "dry" curry so the sauce will stick to your chicken and infuse it full of flavor. I use boneless and skinless chicken tenderloins but alternatively, you can cut up 1 whole chicken into medium-sized pieces. ENJOY!

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

8 boneless and skinless chicken tenderloins
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more if you like spicy!)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
7 ounces good-quality coconut milk (not cream!)
2 tablespoons fresh finely chopped lemongrass (usually found in a tube refrigerated near the produce section)
1 onion, peeled and quartered
4 garlic cloves
1 thumb-size piece ginger or 1 galangal
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce or 2 teaspoons Braggs liquid aminos
2 1/4 teaspoons tamarind paste or 2 1/4 teaspoons vinegar
1 tablespoon agave nectar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon shrimp paste or 1 teaspoon substitute 1 tbsp. fish sauce
2 whole star anise
fresh cilantro
dry shredded coconut

Steps:

  • In a food processor combine all ingredients except Chicken and Whole Star Anise. Blend until smooth, taste and adjust as needed: for more salt add Fish Sauce; if it's too sour, add more Agave nectar.
  • In a large saucepan lay the chicken pieces in one layer and pour the sauce over them. Turn chicken pieces to coat well. Add the whole star anise.
  • Cook uncovered until chicken is done, this time will vary depending on if the chicken has bones in or not. For bone-in chicken, simmer until the sauce reduces by half. For boneless, remove chicken then reduce the sauce by half, returning chicken to pan to reheat when you are ready to serve.
  • Serve atop fragrant rice and garnish (optional) Enjoy!
