Introduction

Our Malay Rendang Curry Pack is a combination of Malay ingredients and Indian spices with creamed coconut and tomatoes. This is a thick, flavourful curry with a zesty edge from lime leaves and lemongrass.

It's perfect with slow-cooked beef - braising or stewing steak cooked for a long time is ideal.
