• To give the dish even more flavour, try adding a bruised lemongrass stalk to the oil before heating the rendang paste.
• If you would like the dish to be spicier, add a couple of birds eye chillies or 2 fresh long red chillies.
• A couple of toasted and ground shredded coconut strips (frozen or dry) added at the end of the cooking time, will add extra texture and nuttiness to the rendang.
