Meaning
rendang (usually uncountable, plural rendangs)
An Indonesian dish of beef (or sometimes other meat) slowly cooked in coconut milk.
Examples
Rendang was mentioned in Malay literature Hikayat Amir Hamzah citation (1550s) citation is popular among Indonesians, Singaporeans and Malaysians.
Also a whole book dedicated to its title: Rendang: the spicy, stewy, very savoury meat dish of Malaysia (and, I believe, Indonesia).
Rendang is another form of curry consumed in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines; although it is drier and contains mostly meat and more coconut milk than a conventional Malaysian curry.
Rendang is a complicated recipe, but an oh-so-good one and I will truly be impressed by anyone who attempts this.
