Flashback of Eid Al Fitr Preparations

Hello guys...
How are you doing ? I hope you are doing well.

In this blog, I will share stories about preparations for Eid al-Fitr. A few days ago we celebrated Eid. After about a month of fasting.

In welcoming and celebrating Eid al-Fitr, special foods are usually served, such as ketupat, rendang, chicken opor, rice cake, vegetable curry jackfruit and so on.
This time to welcome Eid, I cooked ketupat, rendang and also vegetables with jackfruit curry.

Ketupat is one of the typical Eid dishes, where the way to make it is by filling the ketupat nest with sticky rice and then cooking it with coconut milk, spices, and also bay leaves to make it smell good. Ketupat is cooked with coconut milk until the coconut milk dries up and the ketupat is cooked.

This ketupat nest is made of coconut leaves which are woven in such a way that it looks like this.

In addition to ketupat, I also cook rendang as a complement. Who doesn't know rendang? Some of you who are reading this blog must have heard of rendang, right? Yes, rendang is one of the original Indonesian specialties. Rendang is a food from the Padang area. Usually in Eid celebrations, Rendang is served. Rendang is beef cooked with special spices and also cooked with coconut milk.

The process of cooking rendang takes a long time, about 4 hours, so that the spices seep into the meat and the meat is also tender, during the cooking process, the rendang must always be stirred.

And the last thing I cooked was the vegetable, namely jackfruit curry. Jackfruit used is jackfruit that is still young, then cooked with curry spices and coconut milk.

First of all, the jackfruit is boiled first, then stir-fry the curry spices until the smell is good, then in a new container add the boiled jackfruit, stir-fried curry spices and coconut milk, then cook until cooked. Usually this jackfruit curry is eaten with ketupat and also rendang or rice cake.

That's the dish I made to celebrate Eid. Usually the food on Eid celebrations is fatty food and the food containing coconut milk.

Okay guys, that's all for today. I will share what I do in the next blog.
