Betutu is a Balinese steamed or roasted poultry dish where chicken or duck gets wrapped in bumbu betutu—a thick, aromatic spice paste that does the heavy lifting. The bird emerges deeply flavored, its meat tender from the slow cooking process. If you want to turn up the heat, there's a raw onion and red chili version that brings sharp, uncooked bite alongside coconut oil's richness.
