Chicken Green Rendang II (Rendang Ayam Hijau II)

This time I made a drier version than the first one and adding more spices which I felt will be more suitable for special occassion - my two boys and hubby commented that they like it very much. It was served for the HROH last week to accompany the steamed glutinous rice.

I have cut down below recipe to smaller portion than the one I actually cooked for ease of readers to try.
