This is the curry my family buys to go with our Nasi Minyak. What I love is the unique fragrance of the spices. I find this curry rather pleasing as it compliments Nasi Minyak very well especially so when accompanied by a simple cucumber and onion acar (pickle).
My search for this recipe ended when I found Chef Wan's Kerutup Daging Terengganu featured in his cookbook Simply Sedap. Chef Wan adds some sliced turmeric leaves into this curry, which he mentioned is not an ingredient in the original recipe. I agree with Chef Wan that the turmeric leaves give this curry a wonderful aroma. However, go easy on it or else the smell and taste would be overpowering.

DeleteHello Phong Hong,
ReplyDeleteThis Beef Curry must be real delicious. Wish I am as good as you do! I am looking at your last picture again and again.......just drooling eventhough I already had my lunch! But I could go for another small piece of beef and the curry sauce I can use some bread to dip into it. Hmmm.......yum!
Mel, after lunch also you can still sample, heh..heh..heh...it is also nice eaten with plain rice and of course roti :)
DeleteWow, you sure are cooking up a storm on this food fest! This dish also looks delicious! I love the look of that rice too!
ReplyDeleteJeannie, I am carrying the Terengganu flag up high! So my kitchen is smoking :)
Deletekalau kerutup daging/ayam, k.nor suka makan dgn nasi kunyit@pulut kuning.. kalau dimakan dgn nasi putih pun sedap. selalunya kalau buat kerutup ayam, k.nor guna ayam kampung atau ayam pencen.. buat dua ekor.. makan sekor hari tu, dan simpan sekor lg peti ais.. selang 2 hari baru panaskan balik dan makan .. kerutup lg sedap dimakan bila dibiar lama dlm peti ais.. lg terasa rempahnya tu.. ishh teringin lak nak buat kerutup ayam :)
ReplyDeleteK. Nor, memang betul. Kalau simpan sehari dua baru meletup dia punya flavours. Saya pon suka nasi kunyit nak nak dengan kerutup ayam yang ada telur tu. K. Nor masaklah kerutup ayam, pas tu hantor kat MFF. Jangan lupa tepek atas Facebook :)

ReplyDeleteIt's not very spicy because I removed the chilli seeds. It has a very robust flavour and nice aroma :)
DeleteI was wondering when you were sharing the rest of your meal! What a yummy curry!
ReplyDeleteLizzy, thanks! I hope you like curry :)
DeleteThis looks really really good! I love curry with thick gravy like that, not too dry like rendang and not watery like the Malay or Indian curries.... This is just perfect!!! Yummmmm!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteArthur, go buy some beef and cook this! This curry freezes very well and you can cook extra and freeze for later.
