Now is the main menu of this dinner post . Rendang is Indonesian internationally famous food. This meat based curry is originally from Minangkabau West Sumatra- Indonesia but here I cook with a simple recipe from my mum. The taste of course not as same as the original but close! I like my rendang dry like on the picture here. On previous photo, the Rendang is not that dry. You can decide what you want.
