Indonesian Indian cuisine

Okay kiddo, let me explain Indonesian Indian cuisine to you.

You know how different countries have their own types of food? Well, Indonesia and India are two countries that are pretty far apart from each other but their cuisines have combined in some dishes.

Indonesian Indian cuisine is a mix of Indonesian and Indian foods that creates unique flavors and tastes. Some popular dishes include Nasi Goreng (fried rice) and Mie Goreng (fried noodles) which are served with Indian spices and ingredients like turmeric, ginger, and cumin.

Some Indonesian Indian dishes also use Indian breads like naan or roti as well as Indonesian proteins like chicken, beef, or fish. These are often served with rich sauces like curry that combines Indian and Indonesian spices.
