Sayur Lodeh with Ketupat (Lontong)

Sayur Lodeh with lontong or ketupat is one of our family's favourite one-dish-meal.

It is so called simple if you can prepare the chilli paste one day ahead.

My husband loves vegetables. He enjoys this meal so much.

Normally for making my cooking easier, i will just use Hai's lontong paste and add in some fresh ingredients like lemongrass, dried shrimps, turmeric and galangal to the paste.

It turns out good too.

But today i am keen to have a try on 3 hungry tummies nanny's recipe.

It is cool! Delicious!

Unfortunately i dont have long beans and eggplants.

But overall it is really good, especially the gravy.

Just can't stop until finished everything in the bowl.
