That’s the Indonesian name for steam fragrant yellow rice with chicken and mushroom wrapped in banana leaf. Definitely a mouthful title 
It’s a beautiful dish though. The rice is pre-cooked in grated fresh turmeric, coconut milk and thin slices of kaffir lime leaves that makes the steam wafting in the air smelling of fresh turmeric and lime leaves. More fragrant spices e.g. lemon grass, purple basil & coriander leaves are added, wrapped in banana leaf and then double cook the rice in a steamer. Resulting in amazing combination of fragrances. Just beauuuutiful….!
Mike and David had them for dinner last night. One nice comment from him ”If I close my eyes when I eat this, I swear I’m in a different country” . Not too bad
