Cuisine: Indonesia
Ingredients: seledri (flat-leaved parsley); ¼ cucumber; 2 medium-sized potatoes; 8–10 emping melinjo; 2 tbs hot boiled water; 1 cabé rawit or a pinch of chilli powder (use more chilli if you like your food hot); 1 tbs dark soya sauce; juice of ½ a lime or ½ a lemon; 1 tsp Bovril (This is not as un-Indonesian as it may sound.
