Making Seafood Tumpah For My Family

---

---

Hello everyone,
Yesterday, my husband's cousin invited us to his pregnant wife's 7 month event. They held it at Tanjung Pura's house. The city of Tanjung Pura is a city that is famous for its brackishness, so many fishermen are looking for fish and seafood. It's easy to get all kinds of seafood in brackish, especially crabs and mussels.

My husband's uncle gave us 3 kg of crab and 1 kg of mussels for us to take home. We were very happy to get fresh crabs and mussels, he said it was just harvested this morning. My mother-in-law was very happy and told me all this seafood we will process very well.

So, I took the initiative to cook all this seafood to be made 'seafood tumpah'. The meaning of 'seafood tumpah' is seafood that is cooked and served on a table with a leaf mat. For this gravy from seafood tumpah, it is usually made with a type of Padang sauce.

Making Padang Sauce is very easy, just like making gulai padang. But there are some other additions and without using coconut milk. This food is very savory, sweet, sour and slightly spicy. I am very good at making spilled seafood, if there are crabs and mussels, I will definitely cook seafood tumpah for my family.

My in-laws really rely on me to cook this dish, to be honest, my mother-in-law is a little bit not very good at cooking. For foods with a savory taste, she is not very good at making Indonesian desserts. If you cook cenil, candil, kolak and klepon, no doubt about it. However, the human name is not free from shortcomings, right?

Well, this time I will show all hive friends, how to make delicious, simple and fail-proof seafood tumpah. You can try this method at home if you have several types of seafood. So, let's get started:
