Recipes, Food And Culture Of Indonesia

Indonesian cuisine has been influenced by the history of incursions, invasions, colonization and conversions by foreigners from as early as the first century A.D. The first foreign visitor presumably came from China and India for trade and commerce. Both the Chinese and the Hindus came and settled on the main Indonesia islands, bringing with them their traditions, cultures and cuisines. In the area of cuisines, the Indonesians adopted the practice of cooking their dishes in coconut milk from the Hindu cuisine and from the Chinese they learnt the technique of stir-frying and the eating of noodles. But they stuck to their own tradition of flavoring and spicing their food. These three traditional ways of cooking co-existed peacefully, learning from one another until the arrival of The Arabs in the 13th century. They came to trade and convert the Indonesians to Islam. This has resulted in much of Indonesians culinary history being bound by Islamic dietary law.

 

The followers of Hinduism who resisted Islamic conversions established themselves in Bali and maintained their rich culinary practice of Indian cooking which encouraged the use of spices and the making of relishes and pickles. The famous Java curry is distinguished from all other curry mixture by it mildness.
