Opor Ayam


Opor Ayam is the Indonesia special dish of yellow curry chicken. It is not exactly a curry dish, but it's got a special beautiful flavour from lemon grass, cumin, garlic, turmeric, candle nuts,ground coriander, and ginger. The coconut milk which mixed with the juice of the chicken, just add up the rich flavour of the dish. It is perfect to be served with steam rice or lontong (hard boiled rice). Topping it with sambal trasi (fish paste chilli sauce) and acar timun (cucumber pickles) will bring this dish to another level. So scrumptious!
