Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash the rice thoroughly until the water runs completely clear, then drain and soak for 30 minutes. Mix with a little salt.

  2. 2

    Prepare the woven palm leaf pouches. Carefully open the top slit of each pouch.

  3. 3

    Fill each woven pouch only half or two-thirds full with the soaked rice, leaving room for expansion.

  4. 4

    Seal the pouches tightly so no rice grains can escape during cooking.

  5. 5

    Submerge the pouches completely in a large pot of boiling water. Boil continuously for 2 to 3 hours, topping up with hot water as needed.

  6. 6

    Remove the ketupat from the water and hang them to cool and drain thoroughly before slicing into firm, diamond-shaped cakes.
