About this dish
Babi guling is a Balinese whole-roasted pig. "Babi" means pig and "panggang" means grilled or roasted in Indonesian; "babi guling" is the more specific Balinese preparation, named for the turning of the spit. Outside Bali, the dish is uncommon, both because Indonesia is overwhelmingly Muslim and because the cooking technique — a whole young pig butterflied, spiced, and rotated slowly over coconut-wood embers — is uncommon outside Hindu-Balinese ceremonial contexts.
The cited source page is brief and does not document the ceremonial details or specific spice paste. A longer, dedicated treatment of the Balinese babi guling is not in the cited article.
