Indonesian Recipe: Rendang Cubadak

This is a vegetarian Recipe for Indonesian Rendang Curry. Instead of meat I use unripe green Jackfruit, which is really chewy and has a meat like texture. This dish is very delicious and is best eaten with Rice.

• 1 tbsp Ginger chopped
• 2 Stalks Lemongrass chopped (tender part)
• 3 red Chili chopped
• 4 Cloves Garlic chopped
• 1 tsp Coriander Powder
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric

2. Heat 3 tbsp Oil and fry Cloves, Star Anise and the Paste for 7 minutes on low heat
3. Add Coconut Milk, Jackfruit, Lemongrass Stalks, Sugar and Salt, mix well and bring to boil.
