Tips & Tricks
- For a deeper flavor, marinate the jackfruit in the spice mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less palm sugar according to your preference.
- If the stew becomes too thick, add a little water to achieve the desired consistency.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated the next day, allowing the flavors to further develop.

Presentation advice
Serve Gudeg Yogya in a shallow bowl, allowing the vibrant colors of the stew to shine through. Arrange the fried chicken and hard-boiled eggs on top, and sprinkle with fried shallots for added texture and visual appeal.
