Konro is an Indonesian rib soup originating with the Makassarese people[1] of South Sulawesi. Usually this soup was made with ribs, such as spareribs[1][2] or beef as main ingredient. The soup is brown-black in color and eaten either with burasa or ketupat cut into bite-size pieces or rice. The spicy and strong-tasting soup is made from a mixture of rich spices, which includes coriander, keluwak (Pangium edule); a fruit that gives it its blackish color, also small amount of nutmeg, turmeric, galangal, cinnamon, tamarind, lemongrass, clove, and salam (Indonesian bayleaf).[3]

Originally konro was usually served as a spicy rich soup, however today the new variation of dry konro is available, the konro bakar (grilled konro), grilled ribs marinated and coated in spices typical to the konro soup.
