Nasi Minyak (Berenj-e-Roghani)

When translated to farsi, nasi minyak seems very unhealty. Imagine rice with oil. But it is just a name. It is actually really delicious. Nasi minyak normally cooked during Malay aroosi (wedding). Yesterday mak saw nasi lemak at one of woman's talk show and since that she keep on saying about that. I know she want me to cook it, so today's lunch I made it for her. Just simple one. With two side dishes; ayam merah and acar nenas.
