                  • might try it without the chilli & hazelnut & desiccated coconut, not sure what galangal is.
                    ·
                    • Sounds more like a gravy or sauce

                                    • Hi Jann R. I like spicy food; unfortunately, my stomach does not like spicy food (anymore). As I got older (I got smarter), and I learned to listen to my stomach - LOL!

                                      is it the spiciness or some of the other ingredients. My stomach has never handled many herbs [including bananas-which only as an adult found our they are technically a herb] nor do I handle Palm products. Good luck with finding food you enjoy-it can be difficult at times
                                      ·
                                    • Only one food item my stomach cannot handle, and the smell of this food item when it is cooking - will make me feel nausea. I grow up eating spicy foods (and spicy foods did damage to my stomach) - I cannot handle (eat) spicy foods under any circumstances - anymore. Did not know bananas are an herb. However, bananas will make me have a bowel movement (in less than 8 hours). Except for bananas, herbs and spices do not give me any digestive issues.

                                      All good. I know what it's like to like a food and not be able to eat it. Sounds like maybe the potassium and magnesium in the bananas maybe doing what they do :) Look after

                                      • Let me stock up on Toilet Duck before I attempt making this. I don't think I'm going to find Galangal, Lemon Grass or Kaffir locally, if I do it'll cost the earth and bypass the savings on cheap meat cuts. But thank you.

                                            • Haven't had a good Rendang in a while . 😋 Love the little rice duckie:) Is it Topside beef ? I'm guessing hazelnuts instead of candlenuts as they are harder to find Matt Black ?

                                              • Spot on, sorry I forgot about different countries having a lack of various supplies. We use different moulds to present the rice in a series of shapes.

                                              • remove beef and supplement tofu or tahu. Other than that, all is the same.

                                                we often cook a meat lovers version plus a vegetarian version at the same time. To make it fun we have people with different food allergies joining us for the same meal as well.
