Using Blue Butterfly Powder (Bunga Telang) to make Nasi Kerabu
We think Jackie M's choice to feature Nasi Kerabu in her 1st Live Stream with Blue Butterfly Powder is extremely cool and respectful to the Malaysian native flower Bunga Telang, scientifically known as Clitoria Ternatea and Butterfly Pea Flower in Australia, and for Nasi Kerabu's history in Malaysia.
Nasi Kerabu is among the traditional foods of the Kelantanese Peranakans - Chinese immigrants who arrived in the 15th century who married local women and spawned a unique, localised way of life and cuisine.
The word “kerabu” is a common Malay reference for Thai-style salads usually eaten raw. With its vivid colours and medley of aromatic herbs, nasi kerabu is Kelantan’s most visually captivating and exciting dish. In recent decades, it has gone from simple "kampung" (village) fare for folk along the east coast and northern states to a resplendent dish enjoyed by urbanites around the country. It is a dish born of the land and sea – you can taste fish and field in every mouthful.
