Simple dishes are often traditional fare in some regions. This includes the dish I prepared this time, which was cooked in a simple manner and then seasoned with special spices unique to the region.




Gongseng coconut is one of Aceh's signature spices that is a must when preparing traditional dishes. Usually, gongseng coconut is added to curry spices or non-vegan dishes. It is used in spiced dishes such as meat, chicken, duck, and many other types of dishes.

This time, however, roasted coconut is prepared in a vegetable dish. And this is the first time I've tried it myself at home. Usually, I enjoy this dish when I visit my parents' hometown.

The natural sweet and savory flavors of the long beans are just right. Added to that is the distinctive aroma of roasted coconut with a very savory taste. This dish is perfect as a side dish for family lunches and is best enjoyed with warm rice.
