Cekuh - Kencur

Zedoary (Kaemferia galanga) is sometimes erroneously known as lesser galangal. This ginger like root has a unique, camphor flavor and should be used sparingly. Wash it and if you are fussy (most Balinese cooks aren't), scrape off the skin before using. Dried sliced kencur or kencur powder can be used as a substitute. Soak dried sliced in boiling water for 30 minutes, use 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of powder for 1 inch fresh root. If not available replace quantity given with half ginger and half laos (galangal).
