This year, since we do not mudik or go back to our hometown, many of us have to prepare the traditional Lebaran cuisine on their own. Well, we can obviously order it from many restaurants and food vendors that provide them, but for me, Eid Al - Fitr is so special I feel like I have to cook them myself!
The traditional menu on Lebaran day usually comprises of ketupat (rice cake wrapped in specially-woven coconut leaves), rendang (the world wide famous spicy beef with coconut milk), opor ayam (chicken stew with coconut milk), sambal goreng ati (spicy potato and beef liver), semur daging (Indonesian sweet beef stew) and sayur ketupat (Indonesian spicy vegetable soup). Not to mention the cookies! My fave is always be the kaastengels or the cheese cookies and nastar, the one with pineapple jam. Well, even writing them down here is mouthwatering for me LOL.
I have share a lot about Lebaran food, including some recipes.
cookies, anyone? Kaastengel, nastar and putri salju or snow white |

This year, I was somehow too tired and lazy to cook for Lebaran Day at the end of Ramadhan. But I was so lucky as my little brother was cooking a lot and sent some food to my home, especially sayur godog for ketupat and sambal goreng ati. We bought ketupat from our neighbors so we only need the main courses. Then on the second day of Eid Al Fitr, I decided to cook opor ayam and adding sambal goreng ati. Not too late as we are still celebrating the big day. Here's what I got.
