Lombok grilled chicken with a fiery chilli, terasi and kencur sauce.
About Ayam Taliwang
SBS presents Surya Hadi Kasuma’s Ayam Taliwang as a Lombok grilled-chicken dish. This selected version uses kencur in the spice paste and a barbecue finish, with steamed rice alongside.
Dried and bird’s-eye chillies bring pronounced heat. Roasted terasi adds savoury depth, balanced by lime, palm sugar and coconut milk, with garlic, shallot and kencur contributing aromatic notes.
The chicken carries a coating of sauce across its grilled surfaces. Candlenuts give the spice paste body, while the final basting leaves the pieces richly coated.
