What makes Balinese cuisine special?

The Essence of Balinese Spices

The foundation of Balinese cooking lies in its rich spice blends that usually combine galangal, turmeric, and ginger. Each morning, across thousands of homes and warungs, cooks prepare the spice paste using traditional stone grinders called 'ulekan,' that form the backbone of their dishes. Take sambal, for instance. Shallots, lemongrass, and chilies don’t just get tossed together; they’re crushed with a mortar and pestle, that releases flavors you can’t get from a blender.

Core ingredients of the Balinese Kitchen

Coconut is everywhere in Balinese cooking. Fresh coconut milk enriches curries, while grated flesh adds texture to local dishes. Lemongrass stalks are crushed to release their citrusy aroma, forming the base of many soups and marinades. Pandan leaves to wrap meat and rice parcels, infusing them with their vanilla-like fragrance. These ingredients reflect the abundance of Bali's tropical landscape.

The art of flavor balance

Every Balinese dish tries to balance four main tastes: sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. You can taste this in dishes like ayam pelalah (grilled chicken) where lime gives sourness, chilies add heat, and shallots bring sweetness. They also use bitter flavors, which they believe are good for health.

Special food for ceremonies

Balinese food isn’t just a meal—it’s part of the celebration. Lawar a meat/jackfruit-based dish graces temple ceremonies and family gatherings, carrying deep spiritual meaning. Babi Guling, the whole roasted pig, is the star at weddings and festivals, symbolizing abundance and hospitality. And if you’re vegetarian or vegan? No worries. You can still savor these dishes with a meat-free twist.
