Gudeg is a traditional Javanese dish from Yogyakarta, in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia.[3] Gudeg is made from young, unripe jackfruit (gori, nangka muda) stewed for several hours with palm sugar and coconut milk.[4][5] Additional spices include garlic, shallot, candlenut, coriander seed, galangal, bay leaves, and teak leaves, the latter gives a reddish-brown color to the dish.[6] It is often described as "green jack fruit sweet stew".
