Kolak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kolak or Kolek is an Indonesian dessert made with palm sugar and coconut milk, with pandanus leaf (P. amaryllifolius) for flavour. In some versions, mung beans are also used, and cooked till soft. Banana may be added to this base, the dish then being known as kolek pisang. Pumpkin, sweet potato, jackfruit, plantain and/or cassava, and sometimes tapioca pearls may also be added. It is served either hot (especially if freshly cooked) or cold. Kolak is famous during holy month of Ramadan, and is usually served cold during Iftar.
