This aromatic yellow coconut rice, seasoned with lemongrass and makrut lime leaves, is a staple in traditional Indonesian cuisine. It pairs well with any of the curries and braised dishes in this book, though it’s particularly delicious alongside lighter seafood and poultry dishes such as Lemongrass Adobo Grilled Chicken with Pineapple or Pwason Griye.
