Mangut Ikan
Mangut Ikan or Dazed Catfish is part of traditional Javanese cuisine and can be found in Indonesian cities on the north coast such as Semarang. This dish consists of coconut milk soup infused with a wide variety of local spices commonly found in Indonesian kitchens like turmeric, candlenuts and galangal. The rempah or spice mix is fried first to release its fragrance before the creamy coconut milk and fried fish is added for a delightfully gravy-rich dish with a distinctive smoky aroma.
