a good way to thicken it up if you like a bit of extra sauce on your curry
is to get some grated coconut and very slowly dry cook it in a wok until its dark brown the smash hell out of it in a motor and pestle until its a paste (dont add any water the oils will come out)then stick it in the fridge
until its gone hard then slice of as much as you need this is how they make there rendang out there and of course if you can make fresh coconut milk even better.
i had beef rendang for xmas lunch
now if only i kept my own pigs for the fresh blood i could make a wicked saksang(pigs blood curry)
you can use desiccated coconut but it does not have much oil left so blitz it with a bit of water.
