Mashed Potato leaves become a favorite vegetable that often served in Batak restaurants. It is said that the leaves of sweet potatoes into vegetables are the easiest to obtain because just placing the wood alone will appear buds of sweet potato leaves. To make it not too difficult, pounded yam leaves mixed with chili, red onion and under white and do not forget the fruits of rimbang. Rimbang fruit is characteristic of sweet potato leaves in the Batak area. Because if cooked it tastes much better than eaten raw. Pounded together and can add 1-2 stalks lemongrass. All ingredients are boiled and after nearly cooked mixed with coconut milk.

Dali Ni Horbo is traditionally treated buffalo milk and is quite common in the Batak area. Same with other milk contains fats, carbohydrates and proteins the difference that this milk is processed without containing chemicals. The process of making this dali ni horbo not too difficult. Liquid buffalo milk is cooked on a small temperature so it doesn't overheat. Add a little salt to taste. Then the liquid milk will boil slowly and thicken. Put in the papaya leaves until the buffalo milk thickens like tofu. But it would be more delicious if Dali ni Horbo is cooked like cooking arsik. Adding aroma and delicious flavor to milk.

This food is the most preferred food for many people for food lovers who are not halal. Made from pork. Sprinkled with a little acid before baking.
