5 Variations of Delicious Katuk Leaf Food Recipes: The Breast Milk Booster “Sayur Bening Katuk Jagung Manis”

The second choice of katuk leaf food recipe is Sayur Bening Katuk Jagung Manis (Katuk & Sweet Corn Clear Vegetable Soup).

This soup is most enjoyable with dadar jagung (corn omelet) and sambal tomat (tomato sauce) as a complement. However, with additional katuk (Sauropus androgynus, also known as star gooseberry or sweet leave) leaves, you can also try the recipe for increasing breast milk production.
