Kikil is a natural processed product made from cow or buffalo leather. This thickness of cowhide is processed and cleaned to remove hair, then boiled until soft. This long process produces delicious final products for various delicious dining menu dishes. Well, what a coincidence. Yesterday when I want to the market I bought kikil, in the city which is in the same direction as where I work there is a large tax, there are all the foodstuffs available. Including gravel, a food raw material that is rarely found in my village. So playing taxes like this makes it a big shopping moment for me. The price of kikil is relatively cheaper than meat, but did you know that there are still many people who don't like cowhide so the selling price is minimal. Well, because I love gravel, just by looking at it I can think of ideas for what I will make from this raw material.
Today I want to make something new in the kitchen, I will make a soup dish from kikil. Well, usually kikil is often used in curry, but this time I want to make kikil differently, namely soup. This time I made the soup with a mixture of yellow spiced sauce. And to strengthen the taste, I added a little coconut milk to make a perfect savory soup.
Materials Used
3 cherry tomatoes
1 spring onion
2 bay leaves
3 lime leaves
1 stalk lemongrass
50 ml thick coconut milk
Enough water
Softened Seasoning
2 cloves of garlic
2 candlenuts
3 cm turmeric
1 cm galangal
Cooking Procedure
Chop the spice ingredients finely, then blend until smooth with a little water. So, if you want it spicy, you can add chili, because I'm fasting I don't want it spicy.
Prepare the lemongrass, cut it into two parts, mash it a little. Then just tear the orange leaves roughly.
Next, chop the tomatoes and spring onions, just chop coarsely or according to taste.
Saute the ground spices in a little oil, stir-fry until the spices release their aroma. Then add lemongrass, lime leaves and bay leaves.
Stir and cook then add enough water according to your taste, I added 500 ml.
After adding the sauce, wait until it is hot, then add the gravel, then add the coconut milk.
Cook until boiling then season with salt and stock powder. Don't forget to adjust the taste.
Lastly, add the chopped tomatoes and spring onions.
Results
Serve the kikil soup in your bowl then feel the different sensation while enjoying the delicious soup. Kikil is really delicious, especially when cooked with a sauce like this, it's really delicious. Savory, the cream of the coconut milk really feels in the mouth, especially as the chewy texture of the kikil is very suitable for increasing the creaminess. And of course it is very suitable to be enjoyed when breaking the fast with warm white rice.
So, for those of you who want to enjoy a soupy dish made from gravel, try making this soup. It's really delicious, especially when the combination of sliced cherry tomatoes in it adds a spectacular taste to this dish!

It was quite interesting to see your recipe using an ingredient that I didn't know about such as cow or buffalo leather, I am left wondering if "gravel" is the name by which this skin is known.
The cream looks quite creamy so I can tell you achieved your culinary goal.
