Kerutub Daging Terengganu

While digging into my freezer, I discovered two packets of beef that I bought quite a while back. I really need to clear up some space!

I also needed to use up the Terenganu curry powder that is still sitting in the fridge. That's when I decided to cook this Terengganu style curry, which I cooked before. This time, instead of using a mix of dry spices, I used the curry powder.

I am happy to note that the curry turned out well and I enjoyed it very much with the Nasi Beriani Hujan Panas, which was also crowding the freezer hah...hah...
