"I have been eating this dish since I was a child. I am not exactly sure if this is how Indonesian rice are actually made as this recipe is a bit on the spicy & savory side. Not as spicy as how many of my dishes are but very flavorful. When we are craving for rice but nothing too spicy like Biryani I usually end up making these rice. Although all of my siblings are living their own lives in a way but this is one recipe that really ties us from back in the days & is a family favorite."
