Nasi minyak

Nasi minyak, Malay for oily rice, is an Indonesian and Malay dish of rice cooked with ghee and aromatic spices such as cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and star anise. It belongs to a broader tradition of spiced rice dishes influenced by South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking such as pilaf, kabsa, and biryani, and is usually served alongside a curried meat dish. The dish is tied to Malay culinary practice across Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, Singapore, southern Thailand, and the Riau Archipelago, where it is served warm and features prominently at weddings, religious celebrations, and other ceremonial gatherings.
