Traveljunkieindonesia.com – Gulai jariang or gulai jengkol (Archidendron pauciflorum gulai). My mother, have using this recipe for over 25 years. And, it’s a damn good one.

I absolutely love Indonesian food. Gulai is a type of food containing rich, spicy and succulent curry-like sauce.

Gulai is often described as an Indonesian type of curry, although Indonesian cuisine also recognize kari or kare (curry). It’s really quick and easy to make and perfect for traditional food lovers.
