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.

The word dolma is of Turkish origin from the word dolmak (to fill). The dish is found in the cuisines of the Turkic countries, the Balkans, South Caucasus, Central Asia, Middle East, and Arabia. The word varies between Turkic dialects called dolama in Turkmen and tulma in the Tatar language. The word dolma most likely comes from Ottoman palace cuisine.

Dolma is a family of stuffed dishes found in the Balkans, South Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Middle East, in which a vegetable or leaf is used as a container or wrapping for another food used as a filling. Common vegetables for stuffing are tomato, pepper, onion, zucchini, eggplant, and pointed gourd. Stuffed cabbage rolls and vine leaves are also very popular, which are sometimes also called sarma. 

Dolmas prepared with olive oil and stuffed with rice are generally served cold with a garlic yogurt sauce.

You may already hear about "pide". It's one of Turkish fast food that no one can resist for the second portion.

Here we have many kinds of "pide". There is one type of pide bread which especially served during the month of Ramadan calls "Ramazan pidesi". It's a simple flatbread sprinkled with sesame seeds.

You can check my Ramazan pidesi that I made before: 

Here for kneading version. 

Check this link for No-Knead version

Also authentic Ramazan pidesi with poolish method.

But What I am going to share today it's not that kind of pide. Today I will share Pide with topping and it's shaped like a boat/ kayak.

Pide is a flatbread with various topping and bakes traditionally in a stone oven.

Pide and its varieties are widespread through Turkey and are established as an important food. The base is a flat-bread of a similar style to pita, chapati, or western pizza crust. 

A proper pide should be baked in a brick or other stone oven. Toppings (or can be as filling) vary widely and include but are not limited to cheese, onions, peppers, tomatoes, sausage, pastrami, eggs, mushrooms, ground beef, and parsley. 

Pide is also available for cheap on the street from a cart.

Indonesian call this "bolu kering" means dry cake. "Dry" because the texture indeed dry outside, almost like a cookie.

And this vintage cake has been around for a long time. From several sources, this "Bolu" cake was very popular in the 1960s. The cake has various forms, some are fish, oval, or flower-shaped, and mostly has mini size.

The texture of this cake is a bit rough, a bit dry outside but moist inside. But it's super tasty and has a very distinctive aroma. Its light taste and small shape make it perfect for snacking.

Traditionally this mini cake consists of only 3 ingredients; eggs, sugar, and flour. Old recipes require emulsifiers too and for adding the aroma we use vanilla extract/ essence. 

The process also simple, just whisk the eggs and sugar until stiff then adding flour.

But today I will not share the traditional version.

It's one of the traditional Indo-Dutch delicacies. This cake is very popular in Indonesia which is rich in spice sources.

This cake has many names. In the south of the Netherlands, it is called "peperkoek" (or gingerbread); in the West, it is called snijkoek, and in the North, they have something similar called Oudewijvenkoek-which is lighter. People also called "Kruidkoek" or spice cake.

In Netherland, ontbijtkoek is traditionally served at breakfast with a thick layer of butter on top, as a replacement for bread, however, due to its sweet taste it is also served as a snack. It is best eaten the day after it is baked. Ontbijtkoek is also found in Indonesia due to its historical colonial ties with The Netherlands.

Even written in our history that many western countries occupied Indonesia after Christopher Columbus "discovered" one island (Maluku island) in Indonesia and found that the island had has many herbs and spices like ginger, nutmeg, peppercorns, and cloves. Since then, Vanco da Gama came from Lisbon, Portugal followed by Cornelis de Houtman came from Netherlands. Far away they sailed to found and dominate Indonesian spices which the value as high as gold at that time.

That was a marking point at which the "trade revolution" began in Europe. 

"Traders became conquerors. Asian-African nations were colonized and this opened the door to the era of Imperialism. Java was occupied in the 16th century, Maluku in the 17th century and gradually the Netherlands took control of our islands successively. "--said 1st president Soekarno in his book.
