Nasi Kerabu Kelantan Kit (Herb Rice Kit)

Nasi Kerabu Kelantan (Herb Rice) is a visually appealing Malay rice dish served with a melange of aromatic fresh herbs, fresh vegetables, condiments, fish and meats. Perhaps the most striking feature of this dish is the blue rice coloured naturally with bunga telang (blue/butterfly pea flower). Some people may find blue rice strange but it is actually a very pleasing blue colour and is quite aromatic.
