When Ramadan is coming, and I am thinking about preparing healthy, warm, and comfort food for iftar, the first thing that comes to my mind is this lentil soup. 

Warm and hearty, it would be very nice for iftar. Whether when it is summer or winter it is indispensable for iftar menus with its soft taste. This lentil soup is very easy to accompany with any other menu, meat or chicken. 

It is also a soup that is practical and quick to prepare.

Indonesian cuisine is one of the richest culinary traditions in the world and is full of intense flavors. The richness of its cuisine is a reflection of the diversity of cultures and traditions of the archipelago, which consists of about 6,000 inhabited islands, and plays an important role in Indonesian national culture in general. Almost all Indonesian dishes are rich in spices derived from spices such as candlenut, chili, temu kunci or fingerroot, galangal, ginger, kencur or kaempferia galanga, turmeric, coconut, and gula jawa or coconut/ palm sugar.

Just like what I am going to share today, it calls "Karedok". It is very similar to gado-gado, except all the vegetables are raw, while most gado-gado vegetables are boiled
Karedok is a raw vegetable salad in peanut sauce from Sundanese region, West Java, Indonesia. It is one of the Sundanese signature dishes. It traditionally includes long beans, cucumbers, bean sprouts, cabbage, Indonesian basil or lemon basil (Ind: kemangi), and small green eggplant, covered in peanut sauce dressing.

The difference between those 2 cities is the vegetables used and how to make the peanut sauce.
Surabaya gado gado uses coconut milk to make the sauce and then cook and thicken by adding a small amount of rice flour solution. 
While Jakarta/ Betawi style gado gado, peanut sauce grind with fresh garlic, chili, and palm sugar. Besides tamarind paste, Jeruk nipis (kaffir lime juice) is added into it so the taste is slightly sweet, umami with a sour touch of tamarind and jeruk nipis. If you don't have kaffir lime simply use lemon or lime juice instead.

We call it "singkong" or "ubi kayu" in the Indonesian language.

Cassava or another name is yuca. It is long and tapered, with a firm, homogeneous flesh encased in a detachable rind, about 1 mm thick, rough and brown on the outside. Commercial cultivars can be 5 to 10 centimeters (2 to 4 inches) in diameter at the top, and around 15 to 30 cm (6 to 12 in) long. A woody vascular bundle runs along the root's axis. 

The flesh can be chalk-white or yellowish. Cassava roots are very rich in starch and contain small amounts of calcium (16 mg/100 g), phosphorus (27 mg/100 g), and vitamin C (20.6 mg/100 g).

However, they are poor in protein and other nutrients. In contrast, cassava leaves are a good source of protein (rich in lysine), but deficient in the amino acid methionine and possibly tryptophan.

It is grown in tropical regions of the world because of its ability to withstand difficult growing conditions — in fact, it’s one of the most drought-tolerant crops.

Are important sources of food in the tropics. Worldwide, 800 million people depend on cassava as their primary food staple.

Cassava is a versatile root vegetable that is consumed in several parts of the world. It must be cooked before it is eaten.

Indonesian cuisine is one of the most vibrant and colorful cuisines in the world, full of intense flavor. It is diverse, in part because Indonesia is composed of approximately 6,000 populated islands of the total 18,000 in the world's largest archipelago, with more than 300 ethnic groups calling Indonesia their home. Many regional cuisines exist, often based upon indigenous culture and foreign influences. Indonesia has around 5,350 traditional recipes, with 30 of them considered the most important. 

The diversity in Indonesia has led to a rich culinary heritage. From the famous rendang to Indonesian salad gado-gado, every Indonesian food is really worth to try.

Lento dari Kacang tunggak / Indonesian style Black eyed peas fritter

Please Scroll down for recipe in English


Assalamu'alaykum...Merhaba dari Turkey.

Kalau sudah mulai masuk musim dingin kayak gini maunya pengen nyemil yang gurih dan pedas. Terus minumnya teh panas.... halllaa... apa'an sih. Musim dingin dijadiin alesan...heheheh..padahal kalau mo ngemil..ngemil aja kali ya.... (^,^)

Lagi pengen makan lento nih. Kalau di Surabaya suka tinggal beli di tukang gorengan deket rumah ibuk aja. Tapi disini dimana ada tukang gorengan? yang ada bakul börek (pastry khas Turki) atau roti di tiap sudut jalan.

Ya sudah... pasrah aja semua-semua kudu bikin sendiri kalau pengen makanan kampung di negeri orang. Kalau biasanya lento dibikin dari kacang tolo, kali ini saya bikin dari kacang tunggak. Kacang tunggak dan kacang tolo sebenarnya gak beda jauh dalam soal rasa dan gizi. Kacang tolo berwarna sedikit kemerahan sedangkan kacang tunggak berwarna putih kelabu. Kacang tunggak berasal dari butir/ isi kacang panjang yang dikeringkan dalam bahasa Inggris disebut black eyed peas. Di Turki disebutkan kuru börülce.

Bubur Biji Salak Labu kuning / Indonesian pumpkin tapioca ball sweet porridge

Resep dalam bahasa Indonesia ada di bagian bawah






Selam everybody......Merhaba from Türkiye..

Bubur biji salak literally means snake fruit's stone/seed porridge. 
It's one of the traditional Indonesian food made of tapioca starch mix with ketela/ ubi jalar (same to sweet potatoes). The mixture dough is then shaped like "salak" fruit's stone (slightly oval shape) and cook into boiling water until floating. The balls then cook in thick palm/ coconut sugar sauce, thicken by adding some tapioca/ cornstarch. Served with a tasty slightly savory thick coconut milk. So this dish doesn't use any salak fruit at all in it.

It looks like Bubur candil indeed, but the difference is bubur candil is made of glutinous rice flour. Check this link for making bubur candil.

Although it tastes sweet, this porridge is not categorized as a dessert. I usually like to eat this sweet porridge in the morning for breakfast only as a substitute for rice.

Traditionally biji salak made of ubi jalar/ sweet potatoes puree, but people now days vary it with other tubers like potatoes or pumpkin. And today I am going to share my Biji salak made of pumpkin. I use homemade pumpkin puree, but you can use the canned one.
Before use your pumpkin puree make sure you reduce the water content by cook it first until you get thick consistency.
So let's jump to the recipe and get traditional Indonesian Biji salak on your family table.
