You probably have seen my post on Instagram and my Facebook on my new recipe, Rendang Meat Pie. It is my take on New Zealand's staple food, meat pie with a Malaysian twist. I personally love Rendang, it is one of the dishes that I look for during hari raya. Sometimes when my mom cooks Rendang on a normal day, it always brings me back to hari raya memories. :) Anyway, if you are familiar with rendang recipe, you should know that coconut milk is essential because it brings out the flavour of the spices as well as the meat. In my household, I will always use the option of using milk in my rendang and even in my curries. Never try adding milk in your dishes? Try it! Honestly it doesn't make much difference and it is way healthier as a glass of milk contains 8 grams of protein.
Including dairy in your daily life is as easy as eating your morning yogurt, milk in your cereals or even cheese slices in your sandwiches. My favourite sandwich combo is 2 slices of bread, chilli tuna and a slice of cheddar cheese, grilled to perfection! Dairy contains calcium which helps in strengthening and maintaining our bones. In this recipe, I use Anchor unsalted butter to substitute oil and Fernleaf low fat milk to substitute coconut milk. The result? Simply yummy! :D Oh, I also used the Anchor Culinary Cream to create an easy creamy pasta for Marissa and she absolutely loves it! I think I made that pasta 4 times in 2 weeks. :D Fonterra Brands Malaysia has an amazing array of dairy products and myself have been a loyal user to Anchor butter (my favourite butter to bake with). And now I have found my new favourite cream, the Anchor Culinary Cream. It is soooo good, just add in to any pasta, it will make your pasta tastier than ever!
