Chicken Rendang
Rendang is a popular form of cooking in Indonesia and neighbouring countries. You can get Beef Rendang in most street side shops in Malaysia. This dish though referred as a curry dish but originally it was never so. This version of cooking meat with spices originated from the Minangkabau Ethnic group of Indonesia. They used the spices to preserve their meat and use it during rainy season. In modern world, Pork and chicken are used to make Rendang. I learnt this version of Chicken Rendang, from the roadside vendors in Malaysia.
