Nasi Kebuli

Nasi Kebuli is the special rice dish of Kampung Jeram Landak, a quaint kampung in the Kuala Lipis District of Pahang.
Nasi Kebuli is rice cooked with coconut oil and mixed with chicken. Sometimes lamb or mutton is used instead of chicken as the meat for this traditional food.
Other ingredients in this traditional dish include raisins, onions, clovers, olives, and lemon grass, giving the aromatic smell that inevitably creates hunger pangs from afar.
According to the beliefs of old town folks, when cooking this traditional dish, it is vital that the cooks ensure that the ingredients are mixed in the right proportion and follow strictly according to the recipe.
And more importantly, besides the correct proportion of the ingredients, the cook or cooks must be properly dressed in clean and decent attire!! This, local folks say, is to ensure that when cooked, the rice or dish will not turn out to be tasteless and aroma-less!
Normally, Nasi Kebuli is served during traditional occasions like weddings, Maulidur Rasul celebrations and the opening or cleansing of a silat ground.
This special rice dish is also served during the traditional Malay ceremonies of trimming the first hairs of the baby, completion of Quran reading, and other traditional customs.
