So, yesterday I tried to cook Nasi Kuning (Indonesian Yellow Tumeric Rice) and Ayam Kunyit Bakar (Indonesian Roasted Tumeric Chicken). All of this I got it from my mom-in-law recipes, her cooking is so yummy that make me always wanted to try by my own and I finally did it and good taste too.
As first trial everybody loves it, including my son. He loved it.
In this recipe, the I've used coconut milk powder in pack (known as Kara) which contains 50g and I mixed with 350ml of water to get thinner coconut milk.
The glass that used is normally come from the rice cooker that used to measure the rice. The picture shown below
Here is the recipe:

3 teaspoon salt
Method:
1. Wash the rice thoroughly.
2.In a non-stick pan cook the rice with the all the ingredients. Cooked until the coconut milk has absorb into the rice, at this stage the rice is half-cook. If you think that the rice is too much you
may refrigerate the half-cook rice to the amount you prefer.
3.Then move the half-cook rice to multi-purpose steamer (picture shown below) to complete cook the rice by steaming it for 20 - 30 minutes. (Depends on the types of rice that you use, I used Thai Premium rice).
4. Once cooked, you may remove the bay leaf, pandan leaf and the lemon grass.
5. Served while hot.
