This recipe is from my arwah mak it was a premonition I think that weeks before she left us for good I ask her for some of her recipes and rendang ayam was top on the list.It takes long to cook but the ingredients are so simple and it has been the children's favourite:)
1chicken cut into 12 portions.
3 big onions
4 garlics
4 stalks serai

asam keping x 2
daun limau purut
1 packet santan
1. Blend the main ingredients
Tumis and add chili giling as desired .... yg kuat pedas lebihkan chili.

3.Toss in the chicken and stir well.
