Tongseng Jamur

Tongseng is goat meat, mutton or beef stew dish in curry-like soup with vegetables and sweet soy sauce. Originally from Surakarta in Indonesian province of Central Java.

The soup is made of ground mixture of garlic, shallot, black pepper, ginger, coriander, galangal, bay leaves and lemongrass sauteed with palm oil until it gets aromatic. The diced meat then poured into the sauteed mixture until cooked. Add water until it boiled and add sweet soy sauce with tamarind juice.
