Merhaba From Türkiye 👋

Nasi kuning (Indonesian for: "yellow rice"), or sometimes called nasi kunyit (Indonesian for: "turmeric rice"), is an Indonesian fragrant rice dish cooked with coconut milk and turmeric hence the name nasi kuning (yellow rice).

In Indonesian culture, nasi kuning has favourable symbolic meanings. The yellow-coloured rice is perceived to look like a pile of gold,so it is often served in festive occasions; including parties, housewarmings, welcoming guests and opening ceremonies – as a symbol of good fortune, prosperity, wealth and dignity.

Nasi kuning is quite widespread and commonly found in Indonesian culture. It can be found from Java to Sumatra, Bali and Sulawesi. However, it is most strongly associated with Javanese and Minahasa traditions. In Java, nasi kuning might come in the form of a cone called a tumpeng and is usually eaten during special events. The top of the tumpeng is customarily given to the most senior person in attendance. One of the most popular nasi kuning variants comes from Manado in North Sulawesi, which employs cakalang (skipjack tuna).

The rice is cooked in coconut milk, turmeric, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves. The lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves give the rice a nice aroma and flavor.

In today's post, I will share with you how to make this authentic and flavorful yellow rice. Traditional turmeric rice always uses glutinous rice mixed with rice so it has a slightly sticky texture which very ideal to make "nasi tumpeng" / cone-shaped rice.

Making this aromatic turmeric rice actually very simple. All you need is a steamer basket and pot because the process to cook this is only a steaming process.
