My parents come from the island Sumatra. My father from Palembang and my mother from Padang. People from Padang are known for eating and cooking very spicy food. Below you see Padang on the map and the typical houses in Padang.

Ingredients

Boil 6 eggs, cut 5-6 large potatoes in blocks and cook the rice(using a rice cooker).
Cut the lemon gras and tomato in a few pieces.
Take a foodprocessor( if you have one) and mix onion and garlic.
Take a pan, use 2 table spoons of sunflower oil and add onion, garlic, lemon grass, lemon leaves, laos and ginger pieces.

After 5 minutes, add the tomato pieces. Stir well.

After 10-15 minutes, add chilli paste and turmeric powder. Stir another 10 minutes. After that you can remove the pan from the gas stove or electric cooking plate, in my case.

.

Take a large pan and add enough sunflower oil and deep fry the potato pieces. (You can check if they are good enough by tasting 1 piece of potato). Remove the potato pieces from the oil and make sure you use kitchen paper before putting the potatoes in a large bowl. We don't wanna drink oil :-).

Take the pan with the ingredients and add the eggs and potato pieces. Mix well and stir between 10-15 minutes.

Now you are done! Indonesian food is very delicious! It takes long to cook, but it is worth it! With my easy detailed steps, you can do this too. The smell and the taste is mouthwatering!
