Madura-style black seasoning, a blend of typical Indonesian spices, gives an exotic touch to the dish. Usually, this seasoning is served with fried duck or chicken, so serving it with tilapia will be an anti-mainstream culinary experience. This seasoning consists of garlic, shallots, ginger, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and sometimes lemongrass or galangal, along with other spices.

The texture of this typical Madura Island seasoning is oily, savory, and usually tends to be spicy. The fragrant aroma and rich flavor of Madura seasoning will tantalize your taste buds. To create this dish, simply grill the tilapia fish, then serve it with warm rice and pour this seasoning on top. The result is a delicious dish ready to tantalize your family’s taste buds!

Don’t worry, if you don’t want to bother making Madura black seasoning from scratch, then head to the nearest supermarket because this seasoning is widely available in ready-to-eat bottled packaging.

For added variety, you can also try stir-frying tilapia fish with Madura seasoning simultaneously, or even frying it for a crispier dish. Madura seasoning also pairs well with vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and green beans for a more diverse and nutritious dish, accompanying your tilapia fish.
