About Pallubasa

Indonesian dish

Pallubasa or Pallu basa is a traditional dish from Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is similar to coto Makassar; however, while both are primarily made from offal and/or meat of cattle or buffalo, the meat for pallubasa is cooked longer, and served with a creamy santan and sautéed grated coconut broth in a bowl. Pallubasa may be served with a raw egg to make the broth even creamier, and lime juice to add zest to the broth. Unlike coto Makassar, which is eaten with ketupat, pallubasa is eaten with a plate of white rice. It was also eaten with burasa in the past.
