Budget friendly Rendang meal for everyone
Ramadan 2025 began on the evening of Friday 28th February, and end on the evening of Monday, March 30th, marking a time of reflection, spiritual growth, and community for Muslims around the world. During this holy month, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, refraining from food, drink, and other physical needs, focusing on prayer, self-discipline, and charity. Ramadan is also a time for strengthening ties with family and friends, and for many, it culminates in the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, a joyous occasion marking the end of fasting. As always, Ramadan serves as a reminder of the importance of empathy, gratitude, and self-control.
Rendang is typically made with beef or chicken, and sometimes it can feel a bit "heavy" for an early sahur or after a long day of fasting. That's why our team has created a simpler Rendang Eggs recipe as a protein alternative. Inspired by her time as a university student with a limited budget, this recipe allows you to enjoy the rich flavours of rendang without breaking the bank. We're excited to share this affordable yet delicious version with you!
This recipe pairs fried boiled eggs with a rich, aromatic rendang sauce, creating a flavourful dish that's perfect for any meal. It's especially delightful during the holy month of Ramadan, whether enjoyed as a nourishing early morning breakfast or to break your fast after a long day of fasting.
