MARVELOUS DESSERT DADIH

Dadih, a traditional fermented milk popular among people of West Sumatra, Indonesia, is made by pouring fresh raw unheated buffalo milk into a bamboo tube capped with a banana leaf, and allowing it to ferment spontaneously at room temperature for two days.

​

The milk is fermented by indigenous lactic bacteria of the buffalo milk. Its natural fermentation provides different strains of indigenous lactic bacteria involved in each fermentation.The natural indigenous lactic acid bacteria observed in dadih could be derived from the bamboo tubes, buffalo milk or banana leaves involved in milk fermentation.

​

Dadih is usually eaten for breakfast, mixed together with ampiang (traditional glutinous rice krispies) and palm sugar. Dadih can also be eaten with hot rice and sambal.

​

Nowdays,dadih is made of many kind of flavours such as chocolate,corn,strawberry and many more.
