About Terong balado

Terong Balado is a flavorful Indonesian dish hailing from Minangkabau cuisine, known for its bold and spicy flavors. It features eggplant cooked to tender perfection and coated in a vibrant sambal balado—a chili-based sauce made with fresh red chilies, shallots, garlic, and tomatoes, sautéed in oil. Often paired with steamed rice, this dish is a popular comfort food. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, eggplant contributes to digestive health and supports heart health. The chili sauce offers capsaicin, which may boost metabolism, though its spiciness might not suit everyone. While the dish is nutritious, the generous use of oil for sautéing makes it higher in fat, so moderation is key. Terong Balado encapsulates Indonesia's rich culinary tradition, balancing spice and satisfaction in every bite.
