so, timetable for hari raya cooking must not be done at the very last minute as we normally do every year. it's impossible to prepare so much with only a saturday holiday. saturday is booked for soto and the last minute cakes and cookies.
a week away from raya, today..
we made the must have rendang nogori. extra spicy!
slow cook, just like it's done in kampung. minus the log woods lah. just charcoal fire. hehehe.
thing is, we forgot to buy the starter for the charcoal. so abang burnt some rubber bands. toxic!! ma and nen went down. both pening. my guess it was actually fatigue from morning run at the market and here there everywhere looking for the necessities to cook. have to say, i love markets. it's one of the must go to places during travels. every market is different.
anyway, with 2 women down, it was only me in the kitchen healthily chopping and blending the ingredients together. (from mixing the ingredients alone, i had a full on lesson from ma on the health benefits of each spice from jintan to kunyit to lengkuas to...)
Extra spicy please..dried chillies and some cili padi
loads of santan in..
it took hours to dry the rendang! started at 2pm finished cooking at 10.30pm. phew!
a tradition from daddy's side of the family..rendang nogoriDOT.
