Nasi gandul

Nasi gandul is a traditional dish originating from Gajahmati village near Pati. The dish consists of white rice and a thick broth or soup that's often compared with curry or gulai. When served, the rice is placed on a banana leaf, and the broth is then poured over the rice. Accompaniments such as cow innards, beef tongue, hard-boiled eggs, and fried tempeh are served on top of the rice. Nasi gandul is traditionally eaten with suru, a banana leaf that's folded in order to resemble a spoon. The dish can be found and enjoyed at numerous street stalls in the area.
