Did you know, it turns out that the origin of yellow rice began during the Hindu kingdom in Indonesia, the yellow color comes from turmeric as an expression of gratitude and blessings to God Almighty. Initially, yellow rice was served by the Hindu community as a dish for the gods with the aim of asking for safety and being kept away from danger. However, after the influence of Islam entered Indonesia, yellow rice was still served as an expression of gratitude and asking for safety to God and in order to preserve culture.
