Indonesian Kerak Telor is a famous traditional street food originating from the Betawi people of Jakarta. This iconic crispy omelette is made with glutinous rice, eggs, shredded coconut, dried shrimp, and aromatic spices, then cooked over charcoal until the bottom becomes deliciously crisp and golden. Traditionally sold during Jakarta fairs and cultural festivals, Kerak Telor is known for its unique smoky aroma, crunchy texture, and rich savory flavor. Topped with crispy fried shallots and toasted coconut, this authentic Indonesian delicacy is a must-try for anyone exploring the country's vibrant street food culture.

Cooking Method

Drain the soaked glutinous rice thoroughly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
Spread the glutinous rice evenly over the skillet and cook for 5–6 minutes until partially tender.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, garlic, shallot, dried shrimp, salt, and white pepper.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the rice.
Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the top.
Continue cooking until the eggs are set and the bottom becomes golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the pan or briefly invert it over the heat to lightly toast the top, following the traditional method if possible.
Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle generously with fried shallots and extra toasted coconut.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
