Ingredients
The main ingredient is meat (most commonly chicken or beef) and/or eggs cooked in coconut milk with a mixture of spices consisting of palm sugar, lemongrass, lemon leaf, ground garlic, shallot, candlenut, black pepper, galangal, coriander, and cooking oil. The meat is braised on a small flame until it's cooked and the coconut milk has thickened. Opor has a grey-whitish color and a thin soupy consistency. Similar dishes to opor include sayur lodeh, gulai and kari, as they all use coconut milk as a base. Compared to other traditional Indonesian dishes, opor uses less spices, and the absence of turmeric and chilli pepper make opor maintain its whitish coconut milk-like color.
Variants
The most common opor is opor ayam (chicken opor), although other ingredients are also can be cooked as opor. Opor daging (beef), opor bebek (duck), opor telur (hard boiled chicken egg), and opor tahu (tofu) are examples of opor variants.
