Berjaya masak rendang.

Oh yes... saya masak sendiri from scratch ok (except for the cili and kerisik)! Before the actual cooking happened, there were a lot of reading and research. I used a pressure cooker (PC), so the steps were a bit different compared to cooking it conventionally.

Ingredients
1. Daging 500g potong kecik2
2. Blended items:

• bawang merah 4 ulas (medium size)
• bawang putih 4 ulas
• halia 3 inci (agak2 je la... or about the size of 1 ulas bawang merah)
• lengkuas 1 inci
• serai 3 batang

3. Santan 200ml (I used santan low fat)
4. Cili giling 3/4 of the amount of blended items
5. Kerisik 1 packet or about 4 tbs
6. Gula melaka about 1 tbs
7. Garam about 3/4 or 1 ts
8. Daun kunyit
9. Daun limau

Cooking using PC (sgt2 senang)
1. Masukkan 1,2,3,4 and 7 into the PC and mix well.

2. Tutup PC and tekan start button.
My PC is the Philips one. Saya suka but it seems that the timer x bole adjust manually. Once tekan cook function for beef, dia akan automatically set 25 min. Since daging x brp keras, after 25 min, it got a little too soft. What I did previously kalau nk kurangkan masa memasak, I just switched off the PC lps dh dpt tempoh memasak yg saya nk. Bole je, cuma kalau x perasan waktu, terlajak jugak la.

3. After dh habis tempoh PC memasak (or if u decide to switch off manually), bole masukkan items 5,6,8 and 9. Stir well.

4.  Now the rendang will not look like rendang yet sbb berkuah. Kena keringkan sikit.
My PC xde function stir fry so I can't really keringkan kuah dia dlm the PC itself. Kalau ada function stir fry, bole guna that function. The other method is manual. Masukkan dlm kuali and keringkan kuah. Since I wasn't up to it, I simply opened the PC cover and keep heating it up so it functions a bit like kuali. Just kacau rata. Eventually kuah akan kering and nmpk mcm rendang. Kalau suka berkuah, x payah kering sgt.

Siap! Zul ckp SEDAPPPPPPP! Bole masak for raya. No problemo.

I also cooked the nasi impit using PC. I bought the mini nasi impit and it stated the cooking time is 60-90 min. Pakai PC, it only takes 15 min. In the PC, make sure nasi impit semua tenggelam, or nk masukkan air lebih pun no hal. For me using the Philips PC, tekan rice function, which will set 15 min, and start. 15 min later siap. Of course kena kluarkan nasi impit and biarkan sejuk before mkn.

These are the blogs which I took and tweaked the recipe from.

Kepada sapa2 yg x kenal diri ini, saya x brp pandai and mmg x suka memasak. So this success mmg sgt x disangka2. Who would have thought Anis Mohamad, kaki mkn luar ni bole berjaya masak... rendang no less. With the help of technology, the possibility is endless. Wahhhh hahahaha!!

Btw, kalau ada yg perasan kenapa ingredient list lain sikit dr resipi dr blog2 di atas (cth nye bawang patutnye 6 tapi saya letak 4 je, serai patut nye 4 tapi saya letak 3 je), sbb nye adalah saya rasa 6 ulas tu mcm terlalu byk bawang je, and tang serai pulak sbb byk itu je Zul beli. Heheh. Lain kali kalau nk extra kena ckp. Kali ni pesan brg tp x mention kuantiti. I love the fact that Zul bole pegi shopping brg basah. x payah pening nk carik brg.
