Note: I used lamb instead of beef for this recipe. Also, I did not have galangal, I don't know why i replaced it with ginger? I have never used galangal in any of my recipes to tell you the truth!
Another thing was, Kak Elle used 'jintan'. In Malaysia there are two types of jintan; manis and putih. When I started cooking her recipe, I realised that I didn't know which jintan Kak Elle was referring to. So I added in both, fennel and cumin (which one is j.putih and manis eh?) Anyway, the outcome was fantabulous! We rarely eat chilli hot food nowadays, so this one has really spiced up our menu for the day! Thanks Kak Elle.

Thank you for the compliment:)yes use both jintan.So you can't get lengkuas in UK? not even the powder ke?We need lengkuas for rendang recipe to make it ummmppppph...
Kak lady kata nak masak pun tak buat lagik...cari2 jintan pun takde kat rumah...sebab memang jarang masak guna jintan...hehehhe
Huhhh nampak sedap..mengiurkan lah... Nisak tempat Azi susah dapat daging. Jauh sangat kedai nya..
gmbr tu menggambarkan betapa sedapnya menu tu!yum yum...
Kak Elle Galangal can be found in Asian shops. Fresh ones. ERrr, I think they were galangal! Something like ginger, with softer skin, right?
Kak Lady Agak-agak saya mungkin boleh gantikan ketumbar dan jintan tu dengan serbuk kurma. (Lagi sedap tumbuk sendiri :)
Ajzie Mungkin Azie boleh cuba dengan ayam atau udang? Ya tak Kak Elle?
Nani Bagi saya yang asyik makan lauk yang sama tiap-tiap hari, resepi ni memang membuka selera. Thanks to Kak Elle :)
mmg nampak sedaplahh..yus pun nak cuba nanti. Nisak, kalau di Sheffield, lengkuas ada di jual di kedai cina/thai, segar dan kering, dua2 pun ada.
Yus Yang benornya tak berapa kenal rupa dia. Agak-agak macam halia, kan? hihi...
lengkuas kulit die kemerah2an and much thicker.Betul Ajzie you bolih gunakan dgn fish tapi kena di bakar baru sedap,lumutkan(betul ke perkataan I ni) bukan ikan cutlets,di sana takde daun pisang so just wrap ngan foil and grill.Cuba lah I did with rempah vindaloo-I think you can get them at the supermart in england,the ones I use I bought in australia under Spencers brand..UK I think its sherwood's more of indian flavour and smell so for me spencer's is my kind of taste.
Look out for my udang goreng kunyit next week:)
awesome food pics.
should get yourself a dslr with a 28 or 35 mm primes.... great on taking food/product.
saya masak juga tapi tak de resepi, ikut naluri saja dan campak itu dan ini. :(
lauk ni memang sedap, hari tu akak masak guna jintan manis...pastu lengkuas dan serai memang bawak dari malaysia sebab kat jordan tak de ... I really like this menu since bahannya tak rumit...
nampak you punya lamb ni lagi menawan lah :D
Kak Elle ingat-ingat lupa lengkuas/galangal. I think the one I saw, memang galangal. pinkish and softer skin compared to ginger.
ikelah thanks ikelah! Didn't expect that to come from you. "Someone" doesn't approve the 28 or 35mm. he said the L lens is sufficient.
LuJordan jintan manis yang hitam ke? Tengok orang Pakistan di sini pun banyak guna jintan "manis" (yang hitam) bila tumis nasi beryani. Wangi.
