About Ketupat

Ketupat, a traditional dish from Southeast Asia often associated with Indonesian, Malaysian, and Filipino cuisines, is a compactly woven rice cake made from white rice enclosed in a diamond-shaped pouch of young palm leaves. During cooking, the rice expands to fill the pouch, creating its characteristic firm texture. Ketupat is commonly served during festive occasions, particularly Eid celebrations, alongside dishes like satay, rendang, and curry. From a nutritional perspective, ketupat is low in fat and high in carbohydrates, serving as a good source of energy. However, being made from white rice, it lacks significant fiber or micronutrients compared to whole grains. Pairing it with protein-rich and vegetable-packed accompaniments helps balance its nutritional profile. As ketupat is boiled rather than fried, it is often lower in calories compared to other rice-based dishes. However, moderation is key due to its predominantly starch-based content.
