Nusantara Bumbu Kare (Green) 200ML

Bumbu Kare (Indonesian Curry Spice Paste)

Bumbu Kare is a warm, aromatic spice paste used to create comforting Indonesian-style curries — from kari ayam (chicken curry) and kari sapi (beef curry) to sayur lodeh, gulai, and opor. With its signature balance of spice, fragrance, and a touch of sweetness, this paste captures the essence of traditional home-cooked Indonesian curries. Simply add coconut milk for a rich, creamy finish that pairs beautifully with meat, seafood, or vegetables. Halal Certified and SFA Import Approved.
