Nasi Kebuli - Fragrant Lamb Rice
Today is the Idul Adha holiday in Indonesia, and on this day, many family will prepare lamb dishes in the same way the Americans prepare turkey on Thanksgiving. So, to get into the spirit of the day, I am preparing nasi kebuli, a rice dish with lamb and ton of spices cooked in coconut milk. It is a dish that we Indonesian absorbed from the Middle Eastern tradition. I suspect that if you simply switch the coconut milk to yoghurt and the cooking oil to ghee, this would probably pass as a Middle Eastern dish instead of Indonesian. ♥

Dear Kak Anita, Saya kemarin mencoba resep Nasi Kebulinya dan hasilnya lezat sekali. Saya memodifikasi sedikit resep Nasi Kebuli Kak Anita. Saya tambahkan 2 sendok teh garam sewaktu merebus daging kambingnya dan untuk menumis bumbu, saya menggunakan minyak samin (ghee); menurut saya kalau pake mentega weisman untuk menumis akan sama gurihnya. Untuk kismisnya, saya tambah sebanyak 1/4 Cup (US Measurement). Saya juga tambahkan 1/4 Cup toasted silvered almond. Pesan saya kepada pembaca yang akan memasak memakai Rice Cooker, jangan mengukus beras dengan bumbu santan yang masih panas. Ini akan memperpendek waktu mengukus dan berasnya nanti hanya jadi setengah matang. Resep ini sangat akurat dan lezat (a foolproof recipe). Saya sangat rekomendasikan! Terima kasih atas resepnya Kak Anita! BTW, Kak Anita kenal Mbak Iona Vidya ya...?
Dear Erry, thank you banget udah nyobain resepnya, apalagi ternyata suka :D Tips untuk nambahin kismis dan almondnya sangat bagus, pasti jadinya enak banget nih, hehe. Aku kenal tuh ama Mba Iona, teman sekelas dulunya :)
