Nasi Kuning (Yellow rice)

Nasi Kuning (Yellow rice) is an Indonesian rice dish cooked with coconut milk and turmeric. Nasi kuning might come in the form of a cone called a tumpeng and is usually eaten during special events. The rice looks like a pile of gold, so it is often served at parties and opening ceremonies as a symbol of good fortune, wealth and dignity.
It is usually served with a variety of side dishes such as shredded omelette, serundeng (relish of grated coconut and spices), urap (vegetable in shredded coconut dressing), teri kacang (fried anchovy and peanuts), sambal goreng (fried tempe and potato caramelized in spicy sauce), fried chicken, balado udang (shrimp in chilli), or potato fritters. More elaborate nasi kuning might include fried cow's brain, fried cow's lung, beef and seafood. It is common to serve nasi kuning with shrimp cracker and a decoratively cut cucumber.
The top of the tumpeng is customarily given to the most senior person in attendance.
