Buntil

Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes

Buntil is a traditional Indonesian-Javanese dish of grated coconut meat mixed with anchovies and spices. The mixture is wrapped in leaves of papaya, cassava or taro, or other similar aroid leaves, and boiled in coconut milk and spices. It is a favourite on Java and is cooked at home as well as sold in small eating stalls, restaurants and street side food stalls. It is especially common in the temporary traditional markets held during Ramadan, where people buy it before breaking the fast. Related dishes named by the source include botok, pepes, krechek and gudeg, and the dish is mentioned in the 1824 cookbook Serat Centhini.
