Ayam Rendang Curry Paste 185g

Ayam Rendang Curry Paste with a Rich Malaysian Character

Rendang is one of the great slow cooked dishes of the Malay kitchen, and this Ayam Rendang Curry Paste from Manning brings that deep, warming flavour to your home cooking without hours of grinding and toasting. Traditionally cooked with beef, rendang is built on toasted coconut, fragrant spices and creamy coconut milk, simmered until the sauce clings to every piece of meat. This 185g jar captures that character in a ready to use paste, so you can enjoy a proper taste of Malaysia on a weeknight.

What makes this paste stand out is its balance. It sits at a medium heat, so there is a pleasant warmth that builds gently rather than overpowering the dish, letting the nutty toasted coconut and aromatic spices shine through. It is described by the maker as 100% natural, and it is endorsed gluten free by Coeliac Australia. It is also free from preservatives, GMOs, MSG and trans fats, which makes it an easy choice for households that like to keep an eye on what goes into their food.

Ayam is the Malay word for chicken, so this paste is a natural fit for a chicken rendang, though it works just as well with the classic beef. If you enjoy exploring Southeast Asian cooking, you will find plenty more inspiration in our Malaysian food products range.

How to Cook Rendang Curry at Home

Rendang is at its best when it is given a little time. Start by browning chicken thighs or chunks of beef in a splash of oil from our cooking oil selection, then stir in the paste and let it fry briefly so the spices release their aroma. Add coconut milk, bring it to a gentle simmer and cook slowly, stirring now and then, until the sauce has reduced and thickened into a rich, glossy coating. Chicken will need less time than beef, which rewards a longer, slower cook until it is beautifully tender.

Serve your rendang with steaming jasmine or fragrant basmati from our rice collection, or go the traditional route with coconut rice and a few slices of cucumber to cool things down. It also pairs nicely with flatbreads for mopping up every last bit of sauce. Leftovers are a real treat, as rendang is famous for tasting even better the next day once the flavours have had time to settle.

Beyond the classic dish, try a spoonful of the paste to liven up roasted vegetables, fold it through fried rice or use it as a base for a hearty potato and chickpea curry. Always follow the preparation guidance on the jar for the best results.
