Chicken Curry with Delicious Toppings - Indonesian Rijsttafel

 Recipe for chicken curry with delicious toppings - Indonesian Rijsttafel

Rijsttafel is a Dutch word, which can be translated to ‘Rice table’. Indonesian Rijsttafel is basically boiled rice which is served with a lot of different side dishes. I love this concept because it is possible to make it the exact way you like. The only limit is your imagination.

Personally, I normal make some chicken curry sauce and prepare 5-7 side dished, typically only healthy stuff like vegetables, fruit, nuts and similar. Together with boiled rice (white or brown) this is a delicious dinner I bet both you and your family will love.

This dish is easy to prepare which is why I use it on a regular basis. I have also served this dinner for guests with great success. I seems that people, and especially kids, find it funny to sit a table and put together their own dish from the many different choices. If you make sure to leave out all the greasy and fried stuff this can both be a very healthy and tasteful dinner.

In this recipe, I have made a Nordic-style chicken curry sauce, which I served with cubed apples, pineapples, red pepper, peanuts, raisins, banana, grated coconut and of course boiled rice.

    This may not be authentic indonesian but it was a very popular dish in the US in the 1960s or so. It's listed as Rice Table in the Joy of Cooking (6th edition). I recall my mom serving a chicken curry and rice with small bowls of raisins, grated coconut, diced cucmber, peanuts and Major Grey's chutney. Thanks for the recipe.

    I had this in London in 1969 and loved it! I think my grandchildren would enjoy choosing their toppings. It's a fun dish to eat and to serve!
