Hello vegan lovers, happy activities to all of you. It feels good and happy to be able to share simple recipes again in this community. Before that, I really hope that you are all well and have the most beautiful moments in your life with your beloved family.
As usual, I will prepare a vegan recipe that is quite legendary in my house. Namely fern with grated coconut seasoning, or commonly known as "Urab on Paku". A few days ago, during the holidays, I visited my mother's house. He picked ferns in the field near where he was gardening.
There are lots of ferns growing wild there, anyone can pick them. So my mother brought home a bunch of fresh ferns which were very beautiful. I started cleaning it there and picked it up and stored it in a closed container to take to my work place. Not only did my mother fern, she also gave me 1 half old coconut. Well, this is because I told him that he really wanted to eat fern with coconut spices.
Coconut Seasoned Fern
Materials Used
½ coconut
2 cloves of garlic
6 red onions
5 cayenne peppers
1 cm aromatic ginger (kencur)
So here I took a whole coconut as a souvenir from my mother, she asked me to bring a whole, half-hulled coconut to my place of work. Not only fern leaves and coconuts, there are lots of other foods that he entrusts to me if I go outcity to work like this. Even though I also live in the countryside here, it is very difficult for me to find available coconuts. Therefore, bringing it from home is the best solution at this time.
Procedure Cooking
In the process of making this dish, I first made the coconut seasoning. So, here I will show you my process for measuring coconut with traditional tools that I often use to make grated coconut. Here are the steps!
The main step I do is prepare equipment to open coconuts, like this big knife which we usually call a machete. So, next, prepare a container to hold water. This container is really needed to hold fresh coconut water for drinking, of course. Once everything was complete, I started splitting the coconut and collecting the water in a container. Then continue enjoying this drink!
Split it into two parts, then prepare the grated coconut tool, prepare a container like a plate. So you should pay attention, I only used half of the coconut.
So, continue measuring the coconut, slowly but surely here I do the coconut while sitting, yes, sitting on the surface of the shaving board. Shave the grated coconut until it's finished, just pay attention to the remaining sticky part with the shell. I didn't take it all out so that the coconut remained beautiful.
Tara!! Look at the results of my grated coconut, even though it's done manually, the results are like an electric machine, I really like the results!
After the grated coconut business was finished, it was time for me to prepare the ground spices that would be used to make the coconut seasoning. Cut the red onion into small pieces, then the garlic, and also the aromatic ginger.
Grind the garlic and aromatic ginger until smooth, then the cayenne pepper, do this until smooth.
After it was smooth, I continued to grind the shallots, well because if you grind the shallots manually it will be slippery, that's why I did it one last time.
After all the spices have been ground, it's time for me to add the grated coconut. And Then grind it together with the spices that were ground earlier.
Season with salt, I use half a teaspoon of salt, then I puree it until all the spices are mixed evenly with the grated coconut.
Well Tara!! The grated coconut seasoning is ready to use, but set the seasoning aside first while I prepare the fern leaves.
In another container, prepare the fern leaves then wash them until clean, then drain them.
Prepare a frying pan, roast the fern leaf vegetables without water, when roasting use low heat and always stir the process. Roast until the fern leaves wilt and become soft.
Once the fern leaves are soft, add the fern leaves to the grated coconut seasoning that has been mashed. Stir until evenly mixed, then serve on your best plate. Well, this is for one portion.
Results
I enjoy this dish usually with warm hot rice, very tasty. The aroma of kencur and grated coconut is very fragrant, especially as the taste is very tasty. I can finish this in just a moment, the recipe is very simple and easy. You know this is a recipe from my grandmother, today I really miss the simple taste of what she used to serve me. However, this is truly compensated by the unique taste of this simple menu.

This dish is so exciting for me. I have never eaten wild ferns and the fresh coconut with them makes me just want to go to your table and have a taste. Yum!!!!
Wild ferns are very delicious, the taste is very unique, what I like most about this vegetable is the soft chewy texture. Thank you for stopping by dear!
Greetings @nurfay, thanks for sharing this delicious recipe, I think coconut is a very versatile fruit, meals that have coconut in them I love, its texture and flavor are very good.
Happy and blessed day!
Hi dear, I agree with you that dishes with coconut always become more delicious.
I don't know why coconut is an important part of a dish!
Wow, isn't that amazing! It never occurred to me that we could eat fern!
It's normally a feature in a garden here so more ornamental, but why not?
I had a quick look online and it appears you have to use the very young shoots before they uncurl, right? They become bitter and even toxic as they mature?
But there might be different types of course.
Thanks for sharing this recipe.. seems simple enough even for a non-cook like me.. haha
Have a great day!
You are right, there are some ferns that can be eaten and some that cannot be consumed. And this is one type of fern that can be consumed, its texture is softer than ferns in general.
One more interesting thing is that the very young ones are tastier, but not at all bitter for the old ones.
Excellent! I'll find out more about our local ones here.. Thank you!
Thank you Thank you for visting my post dear!
Have a nice day

Wow, I'm not sure about that, but we usually consume ferns which are more glowing than other types of ferns.
Thank you my friend for sharing🎉
Ferns! What a lovely dish ❤️
Your grandma's recipe and your mother's gift. That's just wonderful.
Fern looks so green and fresh. Do you always cook it, or could we eat it fresh in salad, for example?
I cook this vegetable very often, there are lots of preparations of this vegetable that you can enjoy. And all the preparations are really delicious.
However, I have never tried it without cooking it, and I think it would be strange, because as far as I know, this vegetable is always served after being cooked.
Interesting. I guess there must be reason why they always cook it. Anyway, it looks really delicious. For me, ferns had always been ornament and camouflage, hehe. We are that far from natural wisdom sometimes.
But I don't eat it every day.
There is also a fern decoration here and it is very different from this type!
Yes, I guess so, hehe. It looks different.
Haha yes, thanks for stopping by dear!
Unbelievable! Once I saw a recipe with fern and I didn't find it attractive, but what you did was great!... this time it makes me want to try it, it looks fantastic!
This is a legendary recipe that is very easy to make.
Usually my mother makes it for us for lunch at home.
This is very delicious sis, I think I want to make this dish now ☺️
Yes sis, this is a simple recipe but very delicious. Surely there are lots of these plants in your area too.
