3. Cooking:

   • Heat a bit of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the blended spice paste and sauté until fragrant.
   • Add the chicken pieces to the pot and stir well to coat the chicken with the spice mixture. Cook until the chicken begins to brown and the spices are well absorbed.
   • Pour in the coconut milk and add the turmeric leaves, kaffir lime leaves, and bay leaves. Since the chicken is free-range, add an additional 1/2 liter of water to ensure thorough cooking.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the sauce thickens and the chicken is tender.
   • Add the pineapple pieces to the pot and season with sugar, salt, and additional flavor enhancers if using. Stir well and cook until the pineapple is tender and the flavors are well combined.
   • Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

4. Serving: Once the dish is fully cooked and the flavors have melded together, remove from heat. Serve the Kalio Ayam Nanas hot with steamed rice.

Enjoy this delicious Indonesian dish that combines the rich flavors of coconut milk, spices, and the sweet tang of pineapple, perfect for a comforting meal.
