HOW TO COOK IT??
Have you finished to make the ketupat? now, we learn how to cook the ketupat.
Empty ketupat casings – when selecting ketupats, choose those that are as green as possible without the brown edges
1) Wash empty ketupats casings and set aside to drain.
2) For 30 small ketupat casings, I used about 1-1/2 kilos of plain local rice (I used Kedah Beras Tempatan)
3) Wash rice and then set aside to dry. It is easier to fill up ketupats when rice is dry, or the rice will stick to your fingers.
4) Make the ketupat opening larger at the end where the longer leaves are and fill up to 45% full of the casings with rice.
5) Seal that opening by tightening the leaves with a pulling motion. Knot them twice.
6) At the opposite end of the ketupat casings where there are two short parts of the coconut leaves jutting out, tuck the loose ends into the ketupat to seal the hole.
