Ketupat is a traditional Indonesian and Malaysian rice cake wrapped in a diamond-shaped pouch made from woven palm leaves. It is typically served during festive occasions, especially during Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, as a symbol of gratitude and celebration. The rice is cooked inside the pouch, giving it a unique texture and flavor. The preparation of Ketupat involves soaking rice in water before packing it tightly into the woven leaves. Once cooked, it expands and takes the shape of the pouch. Ketupat is often enjoyed with various dishes, such as satay or rendang, enhancing the overall meal experience.
