Rendang is a rich, sweet and spicy curry from Malaysia originally cooked by an indigenous people of Indonesia known as the Minangkabau people. There are now many different versions of rendang eaten all over Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore - this Malaysian chicken version is served here with sambal asam, a tangy version of the region’s favourite condiment which adds a real kick to the meal!

Absolutely wonderful! I’ve tried many of the curry and other recipes, but this kit is my favourite so far. It’s comforting, beautifully spiced and the Sambal is fantastic - enough Chili kick to take notice, but a lovely background warmth as well. Loved it!
Nice to try - loved the chicken recipe, less keen on the sambal (nothing wrong with this, personal taste, found too smokey/strong - we have another kit for this recipe, when we’ll adjust the strength of the sambal with addition of some minced tomato & green papaya or cucumber).
We're really happy to hear how much you loved the chicken rendang, but sorry that the sambal wasn't your cup of tea. The idea of altering the recipe to your taste next time sounds like a great one!
