So today was supposed to be day 3 or 29 but I overslept. Bummer.
Junior has been disturbing my sleep a lot lately. He doesn't really sleep in the day, and at night, he can wake up every hour, sometimes a few times in an hour. Long gone are the days I had uninterrupted sleep.
Yesterday Other Half wanted to eat lemak cili padi again after my successful lemak cili padi tenggiri attempt. Haha. But he wanted to cook it this time round, so I can attend to our little mister cranky and feed him dinner.
I prepared all the ingredients, cut them nicely and put into bowls for him to cook. This time round I added more red chili cos I wanted to finish them and they weren't hot anyway so might as well. And more cili padi too!! Other Half prefers to blend everything, easy peasy. I on the other hand, prefer to tumbuk the chili using batu lesung just like my mum does it. To me the flavours kinda disappear when you blend. Hence more chili? Hahaha. So I let Other Half cook, and he wanted to cook the chicken in the lemak itself instead of pre-frying the chicken. The problem with this is that the coconut milk will 'break oil' if you don't stir often, a consistency I didn't want. When I came to check, true enough the coconut milk curdled, and the pot was burnt! But guess what! Haha! Lemak became rendang?! Hahahaha! but luckily the taste wasn't that bad. In fact it was tasty! So from lemak it became halfway of a rendang? Hahaha!
Ingredients:
7 pieces chicken
1 lemongrass, cut into 4 dititik
2 medium onions
5 red chili
15 cili padi
Half a small carton coconut cream Kara
Tumeric for colour, & salt for taste
Lime leaves
Haha this is the second recipe we made our own, this time by accident. I love it when we come up with our own recipes. Makes cooking special ♥ This, I shall call it! Lemak Rendang Cili Padi! :)
