Translations:Rendang/53/en

In Malacca, a fiery version called rendang cili api, made with bird’s eye chilies, coconut milk, and spices, often features unique ingredients like cockles (rendang kerang). In Johor, the traditional rendang asli includes bird’s eye chilies and thick soy sauce for a distinctive flavor profile. Basmah, a dish popular in Penang and Kedah, closely resembles rendang as it also uses coconut milk and toasted coconut gratings. However, it stands out for its use of a greater variety of fresh spices. In Terengganu and Kelantan, a dish called kerutuk is made from meat mixed with spices and cooked until thick, also said to resemble rendang. The Kristang also has their version of dry beef curry.
