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 inside expands while cooking, creating a compact and chewy texture. The preparation of ketupat involves soaking rice in water before packing it into the woven pouch. After boiling for several hours, the rice takes on the shape of the pouch. Ketupat is often enjoyed with various dishes, such as rendang or satay, enhancing the flavors of the meal.
