Halva is a common dessert in Turkiye and many Middle Eastern countries. There are many varieties of halva in many different countries.

Flour halva (un helvası) and semolina halva (irmik helvası) are common in Turkish cuisine. Basic ingredients are flour (for un helvası) and semolina (for irmik helvası). Cooked with butter, oil, sugar, milk, and cream.

These flour and semolina halva varieties are popular in the Middle East and Asia.

In some old books and documentaries, halva was made in houses during Ottoman time and distributed among friends and neighbors. Especially on the first day of the 3 important months in the Islamic calendar (Hijri Recep, Shaban, Ramadan), homemade halva is made and placed in small bowls and distributed to every neighbor.

In Turkiye, as tradition and customs halva (helva) is served on some special occasions such as births, circumcisions, weddings, and religious gatherings.  And when someone leaves or returns from Hajj(pilgrimage) and during Ramadan.

When a person has a new house or school graduation, and other important days they want to celebrate.

Not only that, but halva is also to be served at funerals or when someone is dead.

Besides bread, rice and bulgur are staples here in Turkiye. And this fluffy and fragrant turmeric rice is a fabulous way to add color and flavor to bland white rice. 

This turmeric rice reminds me of Indonesian "nasi kuning". The differences are some herbs and coconut milk that we don't use for this turmeric rice. Also, Indonesian nasi kuning uses glutinous rice mixed with long grain rice.

So this turmeric rice is simple version of that nasi kuning but still has great fluffiness and aromatic.

Maybe some of you already knew that most Asians cook rice using a rice cooker (Indonesian call it "magic jar"). Yes, since rice is a staple in Asian cuisine, we all have that rice cooker that helps us provide quick and easy fluffy rice every day.

Another way to have fluffy rice is using a steaming pot, this is a very old and traditional way, and some people still do it, especially in a very big batch.

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.

What is "cilok"?

Cilok (from Sundanese language), is an Indonesian ball-shaped dumpling made from aci (tapioca starch). 

It's a Sundanese snack originating from West Java, Indonesia. 

In Sundanese language, cilok is an abbreviation of aci dicolok or "poked tapioca", since the tapioca balls are poked with lidi  (skewer made from the midrib of the coconut palm frond).

Cilok balls are boiled until cooked or deep fried in ample cooking oil and might be served with peanut sauce, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), sambal, or chili sauce.

The texture of cilok is quite chewy, its shape and texture are quite similar to Japanese dango, although almost all cilok variants are savory compared to sweet dango.

Cilok is a popular street snack, usually sold by traveling vendors using carts or bicycles frequenting residential areas, marketplace, busy street-side, or stationed in front of a school. The chewy tapioca balls with savory peanut sauce are a popular snack among Indonesian school children
