The last time you had it with me was too soft with no bounce coz I pressure cooked it for 30 mins. There is no need to pressure cook at all.
The recipe below is for 1 kg of tongue.
Boil the tongue and remove the outer thick skin. Oblique slice to 1.5cm thick. Dry rub the pieces with turmeric and salt. Fry. Keep the oil for use a bit later.
Pound:
1 tsp jintan manis (aniseed or yau kok)
4 cardamon seeds ( buah pelaga or wok lok wuat)
5 cloves (bunga cengkis or teng heong)
Pound Separately:
1 inch ginger
3 garlic cloves
2 shallots

1 serai - bruised.
1 large Bombay onion cubed.
Mix 1 tbsp of meat curry powder, 1 tsp cili powder, 1/2 tsp nutmeg powder and a little water.
Use 3-4 tbsp from the balance of the oil to "tumis" :
1 inch cinnamon stick.
1 star anise.
Add the poundd ingredients, serai and 2 sprigs of curry leaves.
Add Bombay onion.
Fry until aromatic and minyak naik.
Add curry powder mixture.
Add a little water witth 1/2 tbsp of tamarind juice.
Pour carefully thick soya sauce just to make it dark.
