Gudeg is a traditional Javanese dish from Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is made from young, unripe jackfruit (gori, nangka muda) stewed for several hours with palm sugar and coconut milk. It is variously spiced with garlic, shallot, candlenut, coriander seed, galangal, bay leaves, and teak leaves, the latter giving the dish a reddish-brown color. It is sometimes called "green jack fruit sweet stew".
