About Burgo Palembang
Burgo is a Palembang dish of thin rice-based rolls served with a savoury coconut sauce. DetikFood's Odilia version includes sago flour and ikan gabus, a freshwater snakehead fish.
Coriander, galangal, kencur and garlic give the sauce its aromatic character. Thick coconut milk and grated coconut bring richness, with salam leaf and pepper adding further fragrance.
The rolls are cut into pieces beneath the coconut-and-fish sauce. Their springy texture contrasts with shredded fish and the fried-onion topping. The dish is eaten warm.
