Indonesia is very famous for a variety of specialties from Sabang to Merauke. Various types of food make Indonesia rich in taste and supported by various spices. Each region also has a lot of uniqueness and different styles of cuisine.
Not only a variety of dishes, there are even some foods that are believed to be able to cure diseases from each region. Like buffalo soup from the city of Sipirok which is believed to increase stamina, it is believed by the local community that this food can provide positive energy to restore stamina after illness.
As for one example that is believed to be able to cure magh disease, namely ongol-ongol. This food is a snack that is believed to help cure ulcer disease.
So for the past few days, my husband has been complaining that his stomach ulcers have recurred and that it is very disruptive to his activities. Moreover, he is currently doing an important project so he really wants his Magh to heal in a short time. He diligently consumes ulcer medicine such as polysilane.
Then my in-laws said that I should make ongol-ongol, the food might help heal my husband. Because my father-in-law had been sick for a long time and ate ongol-ongol every day, and the food was quite helpful for healing.
For that my in-laws gave me a simple recipe for making ongol-ongol. The method is also easy and requires only a few ingredients. Curious about the recipe? Let's take a look at the following ongol recipes!
