Steps to Make Rendang Curry Paste Substitute

Almond Paste

Beef rendang (the original rendang) is a curry with meltingly tender beef that's been slow cooked in a rich, aromatic and highly spiced coconut gravy.

Recipe Summary Almond Paste

This recipe is for those of you who wish to make your own almond paste. I prefer making my own. When I feel lazy, I purchase it in specialty stores. Rose water can be substituted for the almond extract, and can be purchased in Middle Eastern stores, or maybe even health food stores.
