Coconut Milk Dishes

3 Indonesian regional dishes belong to this group: Soto Betawi (Jakarta), Rendang (West Sumatra) and Gudeg (Yogyakarta).

Soto Betawi

Jakarta's signature soup—creamy coconut-and-milk broth with beef, offal, and fresh tomato.

Slow-cooked Minangkabau beef simmered for hours in coconut milk and spices until rich, dry, and remarkably long-keeping.

Young jackfruit slow-stewed in coconut milk and palm sugar—Yogyakarta's signature sweet-savory braise.
