Bluhar

This is a dish typical of Java island (Even i found the name sounds weird, so Mr. Gorilla, stop mocking as if you, french, are being the only one who find it amusing!). I got the reference from: Variasi Masakan Jawa (Javanese Dish Variation) by Munawaroh & Jasmine (Kawan Pustaka 2006).

• ¼ lemon

Direction:

1. in a pan, stir fry the garlic and shallots together with ghee, add ginger, galangal, bay leaves and chillies.

3. Pour water, let it cook until boiled and add the lemon juice, stir.
