Kalio is rendang padang that is half-done. If you continue simmering the seasoned chicken and coconut milk until all the liquid turns into oil and the whole things become dark brown, you will have a chicken rendang.

Ingredients:

• 2 whole chickens, cut into quarters
• 2 stalks lemon grass, bruised
• 2 turmeric leaves
• 4 kaffir lime leaves
• 2 tbs tamarind juice
• 2 liters coconut milk from 2 coconuts

Spice Paste Ingredients:

• 12 red chilies
• 4 coriander
• 16 shallots
• 4 cloves garlic
• 4 cm turmeric
• 2 cm ginger
• 2 cm galangal

Directions:

• Grind spice paste ingredients in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle into a fine paste.
• Pour coconut milk into a pan. Add spice paste, lemon grass, turmeric leaves, kaffir lime leaves and tamarind juice. Stir to combine.
• Bring to a boil while continuously stirring, keeping the coconut milk from caramelizing.
• Stir in the chicken. Continue simmering and stirring occasionally until the milk thickens.
• Reduce heat. Keep on cooking until the chicken is done and oil starts to come out from the liquid.
