Soften the dried chilies in hot water for 10 minutes.
Blend the onions, garlic, ginger, galangal, and chilies into a paste.
Toast the desiccated coconut in a dry pan for 4 minutes, until lightly colored.
Fry the spice paste in vegetable oil for 7 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the chicken, lemongrass, turmeric, coriander seeds, salt, and coconut milk.
Cook the rendang ayam over low heat for 55 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Add the toasted coconut, toss for 8 more minutes, and serve.
💡 Tip: Bone-in chicken cooks without falling apart; if using breast meat, add it during the final 25 minutes after the sauce has already thickened.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve rendang ayam with plain rice, cucumber slices, and optional lime.
