MY TURKISH SPICE MIX ( BAHARAT KARIŞIMI )

Selam everybody.....Merhaba from Turkiye.


In general, Turkish food varies from region to region. Every region has it’s own characteristic soil and climate. Therefore, all the different varieties of products that are grown in every region effect the food culture within each region.

The cooking of Istanbul, Bursa, Izmir, and rest of the Aegean region inherits many elements of Ottoman court cuisine, with a lighter use of spices, a preference for rice over bulgur, koftes and a wider availability of vegetable stews, eggplant, stuffed dolmas and fish. The cuisine of the Black Sea Region uses fish extensively, especially the Black Sea anchovy (hamsi) and includes maize dishes. The cuisine of the southeast (e.g. Urfa, Gaziantep, and Adana) is famous for its variety of kebabs, mezes and dough-based desserts such as baklava, şöbiyet, kadayıf, and künefe.

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.

My today post is one of the famous İndonesian cuisine called Ayam bakar kecap. Ayam bakar literally means grilled chicken, kecap is sweet soy sauce. This sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) is one of the staple condiments in İndonesian cuisine especially in javanese cuisine. Traditionally the chicken grilled over charcoal and brushed with spiced kecap manis during the grilling process which gives more intense flavour.

In Java, ayam bakar usually tastes rather sweet because of the generous amount of sweet soy sauce either as marination or dipping sauce, while ayam bakar Padang, Bali, Lombok and most of Sumatra are usually spicier and more reddish in colour due to the generous amount of chilli pepper, turmeric and other spices, and the absence of sweet soy sauce.

Ayam bakar is usually served with sambal terasi (chilli sambal with terasi) or sambal kecap (sliced chilli and shallot in sweet soy sauce) as dipping sauce or condiment and slices of cucumber and tomato as a garnish as well as a side dish.
Check the lower part for making sambal terasi.

Sambal terasi

Sambal is a staple condiment in most İndonesian cuisine. Almost all İndonesian food requires sambal  to be served together with it. 

Sambal is a hot sauce typically made from a mixture of variety of chili peppers with secondary ingredients such as shrimp paste, garlic, shallot,  palm sugar, lime juice, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) and rice vinegar or other vinegar. 

Sambal is an Indonesian loan-word of Javanese origin (sambel). It is native to the cuisines of Indonesia and neighboring countries like Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Brunei. It has also spread through overseas Indonesian populations to the Netherlands and Suriname.

Various recipes of sambals usually are served as hot and spicy condiments for dishes such as lalab (raw vegetables), ikan bakar (grilled fish), udang goreng (fried shrimp), ayam goreng (fried chicken), ayam penyet (smashed chicken), iga penyet (ribs) and various soto and soup.
