Nasi kerabu (Jawi: ناسي کرابو; Kelantanese: nasik kabu) is a type of nasi ulam in essence a Malay rice dish in which rice naturally coloured with butterfly pea flowers (Clitoria ternatea) served with sides of dried fish or fried chicken, stuffed peppers (solok lada), fried crackers and other herbs and greens; all of these side dishes often times mixed akin to a salad before eaten. The blue rice can also be plain white rice or rice cooked using turmeric. Nasi kerabu is very popular in the east coast states of Peninsular Malaysia such as Kelantan and Terengganu, and now can be found throughout Malaysia as well as in Pattani also known by its Thai name ข้าวยำ khao yam (also anglicised as khao yum or calqued as rainbow rice salad).
