Pacri Nanas / Spicy Pineapple with Coconut Milk, Chilli Paste and Herbs
As I mention in my bio, I am a native Borneo. Our authentic culinary is... what should I say...hhmm maybe unique (I can't find the exact word to describe it to be honest). This dish is one of the unique. Pacri nanas we called it. Nanas means pineapple. This fruit turn out to be vegetable dish in this dish. Sounds odd maybe for some of you, but imagine the fresh, sweet and sour from the pineapple mix with the creamy from coconut milk and lots of stunning herbs flavor, yum!! Highly recommended for spicy food lovers and vegetarian.
A little bit background of this dish. Pacri nanas is known as authentic culinary from melayu tribe, that can be found in Sumatra and Kalimantan (Borneo). But there are some differences between pacri in each place. Different in two or three kind of herbs or some used chili, some recipes not. In my place Borneo, West Borneo to be exact, we used chili paste, yes we love chili a lot! If you want to try this recipe, but don't like chili, just remove chili from the recipe, and it's still pacri.
One more thing, this dish eat with hot rice, fried salted fish and (again) shrimp paste chili sauce, well that's the definition of 'happy is simple' for me.
