In reply to kats. I think you are referring to the coriander powder. I did not have coriander seeds, so I so the powder instead, and does not need to grind.

Hello,
I took notice in your video after you grinded the dry spices. You added something to the dry spice container from white bowl(-5:06). What was that you added? Because it was a different color from the dry ingredients that was grinded.
Please advise
Thank you

Hi KP Kwan,
Thank you for featuring Indonesian Soto ayam. I cannot say whether it is authentic or not, but it looks fine. The soto is either clear or has a little bit of coconut milk. Usually people do not add any spicy hot chilies in the soups or soto, so the young children can eat them. The spicy condiments are always there, so one can add to their personal dish how spicy one want their dish to be.
It is kind of funny that I had never heard of nasi impit. I did a research online, and I found that people make lontong in a rice cooker by making nasi impit, if they cannot find banana leaves to make lontong or young coconuts fronts to make ketupat. Where I live I can purchase little or bigger packages of rice in plastic bags with perforations, so one can just boil them in lots of water, and get lontong or ketupat whatever you want to call them. Because the rice expands and because it does not have enough room it takes the form of the plastic to capacity and becomes a rice cake.
About the begedil, in Indonesia they are called perkedel, or bregedel, or bergedel, originated from the Dutch word frikadel. They are made with unpeeled steamed or boiled potatoes, if you can get potatoes for mash potates, then peel them and mash them adding spices and sometimes cooked meat or fish. If the potatoes are ‘young’ or the wrong kind, the mashed potatoes will be too watery and the prekedels will burst open when fried and make a mess.
The safe choice is to deep fry the peeled potatoes (sliced 1/2 inch or 1 to 1 1/2 cm) and deep fry them until cooked, but still soft. Then, after draining them mash with salt, pepper, usually also mixed with some sliced green onions. Or fancier, with a little nutmeg powder, butter, fried shallots, sometimes also mixed with sautéed ground beef. Then form them in flattened rounds forms, and dipping them into stirred whole eggs (no breading) and fry them in hot oil until the egg is done, takes about 1 minute. They cannot be made from potato chips, nor potato sticks. I am sorry the comment is so long. There are lots recipes if you search Perkedel online, good and less good ones.

Hi…It looks great but I will need to wait until I can go to a larger city as my small town does not have the same ingredients. Enjoy your emails.
