Introduction
Garang Asem Ayam is a traditional dish from Indonesia that is known for its sour and spicy taste. This recipe is a variation of the original recipe, which usually uses daun salam or other types of leaves. In this recipe, we will use tamarind paste to give the sour taste and skip the use of leaves.
