Opor ayam is a food that is very well known in Indonesia. This cuisine has been widely known in other regions, almost all parts of Indonesia. Opor ayam is actually boiled chicken which is given thick condiment from coconut milk which is added with various spices such as lemongrass, kencur, and so on. In Javanese tradition, the celebration of Lebaran is usually made festive by making ketupat which is served with eggs and fried beef liver in sambal.
