Hello food lovers....
Have you ever look this food before?
This snack namely Lopis/Lupis Cake. Lupis is a typical Indonesian food, especially in Java.
There are two forms of lupis that are commonly found, triangular or elongated round like a Lontong. Lupis is made from cooked glutinous rice and then wrapped in banana leaves.
Lupis cake is usually enjoyed with a splash of palm sugar. The sweet taste of the splash of liquid palm sugar combines with chewy texture of the lupis cake to become a delicious blend when we taste it.
And to make this dish is very easy, this time we will make the triangular shape first, let's make it now!

INGREDIENT :
900 g White glutinous rice, rinsed, drained
1 tbs Slaked lime water
8 cm Banana leaves, toothpicks
Palm Sugar Syrup as preferred

2. Clap 2 banana leaves and fold into a cone shape. Fill in with 3 tbs glutinous rice, flatten. Fold unused leaf back, to make a triangle shape. Secure with a toothpicks, so wrapping does not burst open during cooking.
