HI Sonja, actu­ally 1 is enough if you serve it only for your­self. :-) in Indone­sia tra­di­tion, we serve for all our fam­ily and serve it on rice table with other menu
Some­times we heat it again, and save it for tomorrow.

Maybe I should change the quan­tity to fit with uni­ver­sal cul­ture. :-)

Hi there,
I wanted to try this recipe, but couldn’t fig­ure out what you meant on #3 “Fry soft spice”. There are no soft-spices listed on ingre­di­ents, it’d be much appre­ci­ated if you could clar­ify what other spices are used. Thanks.

I love to cook Indone­sian food, because I was born on the island of Java.
OK, Sonja, for a dish for 3 peo­ple, you may take 3–4 small japan­ese egg­plants (who actu­ally don’t have those big seeds) and before adding to the spices, just cut them in half and bake them in a shal­low bowl in your oven. After cool­ing off, slice them not too thin. You safe your­self a lot of work and, more than that, you safe the FAT!
