[@youazmi]

I’m a Sri Lankan Malay who lives in the states for years. I really miss eating our food. Like you, I grew up eating traditional Malay dishes. Nene used to cook whole day :(( I really really miss eating them. Thank you so much for these lovely videos... Pls do Sri Lankan Malay style beef satay video..

[@RuzainaHadgie]

Thank you for the kind words and wonderful comment. Yes definitely will srilankan beef satay curry soon. 🤗🇱🇰

Supper, first time watched your receipe mam, your presentation is fantastic. Not seen your new videos. Thanks, all the way from Toronto...

[@moeenkhan3049]

Wow..Masha Allah Insha Allah I'll try this recipe

[@YRoshani]

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I was looking for the dagin recipe néné makes, so my cousin forwarded me this link. Hats off to you for savouring the authenticity of this recipe, and if can, please make a video of bone broth recipe.

[@rylandc2915]

Please tell me is the pandan required or can it be left out, since I don't think I could get it in Goa. Amazing video overall, easily done recepie, I will be trying it soon. Most of all an amazing SMILE please keep your videos always cheerful in this manner. Thank you.

[@RuzainaHadgie]

Sorry for the delayed response. Pandan is a must for this recipe.. However you could try and let me know how it turned out without it. Thank you for the love and support. ☺️💞🙏🏽

[@KanishkaWijesekara]

Found your channel through the Food Ranger. I'm a grad student from Philadelphia and almost always cook lankan curries according to Ape Amma. It sucks sometimes because she doesn't do any red meat dishes and meat here is cheaper than veggies. Hope to learn some of the beef dishes I saw at your grandma's home on your channel!

[@RuzainaHadgie]

I am a fan of appe ammas channel. Srilanka is a melting pot of different cultures. Im glad to bring out all the recipes from other communities in Srilanka a voice. Will definitely do more meat recipes. Thank you for the support. 👍🇱🇰🇱🇰🙏

Wow.. Mouth watering... Love see these videos.. Keep on sharing Sister.. God Bless ❤

[@hilurgazzali9222]

Didn’t know “chukka” (as my grandmother calls it) was Malay in origin until today. My grandmother makes it all the time when she wants to make beef with low effort. It’s delicious and soft because of the slow cooking❤️

[@RuzainaHadgie]

I have completely missed this comment. Thank you for taking your time to do so.. yes this very popular with Grandmother's in Sri Lanka.. it's a ancient recipe. Would love to know how your GM does her version. Thank you for the support. ❤️

[@yoharapassela5268]

I am SO excited to try this. My dad was the only one that knew how to make this, couldn’t find a recipe anywhere. This makes my heart so happy.

[@RuzainaHadgie]

What’s the best beef cut to use ?

[@RuzainaHadgie]

Topside , tenderloin or brisket.. I personally like brisket or tenderloin for this recipe.

[@donneone]

Really good detailed explanation on recipe including difference to bistek or beefsteak. Philippines has beefsteak, as does Malaysia & Indonesia and the Marianas (Guam) has bistek. Interesting to know know Sri Lanka does too. Do you know the origin of the dish? I've always been curious about the origins of food styles. I suspect bistek and perhaps this one as well are of Portuguese or Spanish origin, but adapted with regional ingredients like ginger, pandan, curry leaves, cinnamon, cardamom, coconut milk, etc. Perhaps you can do a beefsteak-bistek recipe in the future and explain the origin research you discover? I would be so grateful! Btw, no other food channel gives such good details on food style differences and tips as you did here. If you can add the origins and its travel routes, you would connect us globally. That's a winning combination in my book! Bravo and best wishes. I'm your new subscriber referred by Mark Wiens Veddha Tribe vid.

[@jeromeperera3082]

Sri Lanka has a huge diversity in food as a result of the diverse number of communities living in the country. You are right in that the dishes you have mentioned are of Portuguese origin. A significant amount of Sri Lankan cooking techniques (particularly including garlic, vinegar, and oil sautéing) originate in Portuguese influence and mixing in the country. In fact the word for vinegar "Vinaa-kiri" is of Portuguese origin, the Portuguese word being "Vinagre". Many Sri Lankan baked goods also trace their history to Portuguese foods and often bear Portuguese names "Pan" for bread, Love Cake, Christmas Cake,and Fugete amongst others. The Portuguese also introduced chillies, tomato, potatoes, avocados, cashew, and other crops to Sri Lanka following what is known as the "Columbian Exchange". You may find more information about this in the thesis: "Culinary History of the Portuguese Eurasians" by Janet P. Boileau. As Portugal was part of the Iberian peninsula, I feel like Sri Lanka and Philippines has a lot of similar dishes, particularly those cooked during Christmas season. Sri Lanka also has a fascinating and ancient indigenous culture of the Wanniyala Aetto (often called Vedda) which I recommend learning about. The KZbin Channel "Vedi Rata" is a great resources for learning about the indigenous Sri Lankan community. I myself am learning this community's language these days. Lankan Malay cuisine is also fascinating and diverse Ruzaina does some amazing work preserving these historic dishes. In addition to food, the Malay community has contributed vast amounts of culture, art, music to Sri Lanka. Thanks for preserving these cultural artefacts Ruzaina. Good luck with your research and well done for being curious!

[@donneone]

@@jeromeperera3082 Much appreciate you taking the time to respond, recommendations to research, and making the connections to food history and origins. I will most definitely continue in great curiosity!

[@shenazyusoof2360]

Can I pressure cook the beef.

[@RuzainaHadgie]

Hi shenaz.. you can pressure cook the beef but first cook it according to the recipe and add a little Extra water and then pressure cook it on low fire. If not the taste will not be there although the meat will be soft.

[@shenazyusoof2360]

Ohh thank u as you kno Sri Lankan beef is tough

Perhaps you are not aware that Sri Lankan Malays came to Ceylon with the Dutch from the Dutch East Indies, which is today's Indonesia. You refer to yourself as a Sri Lankan "Malaysian". Malaysia is a relatively modern political entity which came into being in 1963, after Malaya (an ex-British territory) federated with the British Crown Colonies of Singapore, Sarawak and North Borneo (Singapore was expelled from the federation in 1965). So yes, I will acknowledge you as a Malay (Melayu) heritage Sri Lankan, but not as a Malaysian. PS: I love your foodie posts- keep them coming please!

[@RuzainaHadgie]

Love this.. ❤❤❤

[@bramantyoprahoro7284]

In Indonesia, we call beef steak as "bistik".

[@shervonneshivaz5827]

You forgot one key ingredient. Aromatic ginger or “inguru piyali”. Key ingredient for Sri Lankan malay chuka daging

[@mujadiyasir2021]

malay people is not means you are from malaysia only, but according the history, some of malay pepple in srilanka came from indonesia since portugues colonialism era and duch colonialism era many of them was member of troops or millitary member who bring by colonial goverment , and another of them was political person and members of nobel person ( suthanate family member who uncoperatif ) to colonialize goverment as an political exile so if you indentyfied your self as a malay people, its not only dessendent of malaysian peninsula, but you are also dessendent of indonesian archipelago, event malaysia was part of indonesia before colonialsm era
