Coto Makassar

Coto Makasar, a traditional food of Sulawesi Selatan, has been familiar in our archipelago. The relationship is much closed with soto babat (tripes soup) from Madura, soto Tegal, or soto Betawi because the seasoning consumed is almost similar but it is not remove special character of this food at all. Beside the characteristic is consuming rice water, it is cooked in a wok made of ground/ground wok called korong butta or uring butta and processed with rampah patang pulo (40 kinds of seasoning).

Observed from the history, Coto Makasar has a background of advance culinary science because it is usually served at formal events in palace. Fortunately, nowadays the enjoyment of this food is not only tasted by upper circle in palace, but also by common people. Chinese tradition influenced the process when Chinese merchants livened up Bandar Makasar in 1538-1556. Consuming sambal tauco as complement in serving Coto Makasar is a proof. Adding ketupat (rice caked boiled in a rhombus-shaped packet of plaited young coconut leaves) can fill stomach up more. You can try appetizing recipe below.
