People say kids enjoy Eid or Hari Raya Aidilfitri more than adults, but I’d say nope! that doesn’t apply to me ! I look forward to Hari Raya more anxiously every other year, and honestly deep down in my heart I feel more joy in giving Duit Raya rather than receiving. I must be getting old wiser!
We spent Hari Raya eve at Azman’s parents home in Kedah before we head back to my mother’s in Penang that raya night. Azman managed to help his mother wrapped up some Ketupat Daun Palas and I the Ferocious Eating Monster Ketupat Eating Expert got to watch and learn for the very first time in my whole life. Of course, it is so cool that I just have to post it in this website. Who knows maybe there are more Ketupat Eating Experts out there that can learn a thing or two about making this delicious Malay Hari Raya delicacy. Yum! This is how to make ketupat daun palas!
1) These are young Palas Leaves, from a type of palm tree.
2) Take one, cut the jagged edges at the end and spread it out.
3) One end is folded like this
4) And then shape it like a cone or a triangular cup
5) This is half cooked glutinous rice
6) The rice is stuffed into the cupped Palas Leaf
7) The longer end of the leaf is brought down to cover the triangle
8) And fully wrapped around it
9) Cross the long leaf like this
10) And pull the end until the top edge of the triangle is covered neatly
11) Make sure no rice is sticking out anywhere
12) Now tie a knot
13) And we are all done! Yeah!
14) Oops, these can’t be eaten yet fellas! They need to be steamed till the rice is fully cooked!
I think I’m gonna try to make some Ketupat myself for the guests at our Kinrara home. Now, where am I gonna get these leaves? hmmm…
This year was the first time I ever bungkus ketupat. The first half of my ketupat palas semuanya ketupat palas betina. Huhu. At last I can bungkus a ketupat jantan!! (Ketupat jantan is what is shown above) HUHUHUHUHUHU.
Ayaq, so now you know how to make ketupat palas jantan already la… :joget:
huhuhuhuhuhuhuh
Wow..this looks fun eh? ketupat is yummy. i was so tempted to get some during the ramadan but didn’t because of my diet 🙁
dulu masa kat ganu rajin gak tulun buat ketupat palas. la ni…chek lupo dah no..ehehehe.
P/S: tak suka yang manis…suka yang goreng tuh…sodap nyer..eheheh
diyana hang toksah la tipu hang buat ketupat ni. aku tgk jari kecik tu pun aku tau bukan jari hang.
haha, thank shanaz sebab kantoikanb si diyana gundu haha
Thats Azman’s thumb la… aku tengah tangkap gambaq laaaa… aku dah terror buat ketupat la ni…hampa jgn jelessss!!!
bukan ketupat palas jantan tu org laki yg buat?!! maka jadi lah ketupat palas jantan..ha ha ha…kepeh kepeh kepeh.. 1000 x buat ketupat palas jantan!! :sinchan:
satu satunya makanan yg mempunyai jantina……..
Aku tak pasti yang ok tu panggil ketupat jantan atau ketupat betina…aku terlupa bab istilah ni..
Setengah orang kata yang tak ok tu jantan..setengah kata betina…
Tapi..kalu yang balut tak ok tu (ketupat betina bak kata ayaqmasak), berlaku disebabkan kekurangan satu kali lipat..!!
Untuk tengok samada betul atau tak balutan ketupat tu…pusingkan depan dan belakang…nampak macam sama saja..
Kalu depan nampak lain..belakang nampak lain..silap la tu..
senang je nak cam ketupat betina atau jantan…selak je daun tu hak hak hak
Eiii I tau buat ketupat palas ni 😀 tiap tiap tahun I buat ngan my grandmum but not this year though.
You can find the daun in pasar but susah kalau bukan musim raya
Mengikot ajaran yang dibagi oleh mak pak saya, ketupat betina bukan sebab kekurangan satu lipatan! Tatapii disebabkan terlebih lipat! Huhu dia nak lipat 3 kali ja hhueouehouehuu~
Encik Azman, pergilah sini…

Baby romper itu sungguh comel utk dipakai. Apa lagi? 😉
Terlebih lipatan pun betui jugak Ayaq woi..
Terlebih atau terkurang akan menyebabkan jadi ketupat betina reject!
Sebab bila lebih lipatan..yang lagi sebelah akan jadi kurang lipatan..
Dia jadi tak balance.
Sebab tu bila pusing depan belakang…jadi tak sama rupa lipatan..
Ewwaahhh..
Kena paham konsep dia dulu…hehe
emm..kalu ada gunting dalam lipatan ketupat itu..?!! hah cam mana tu? keh keh keh..aku expert buat ketupat nasi jek..bagi je daun kelapa yg muda tu..kejap jek aku buat!! :sinchan:
kalu terlebih lipatan baju..adakah akan menjadi baju betina? kepeh kepeh kepeh..40x lipatan!!
aduuhhh…frankensteina…issskk…iskkk..
Dugaan yang sungguh besar buat ku…
Anakku bakal ber-romper Red Devil la lepas ni..kuangkuang..
hahaha… looks like the betinas in Kedah lacking in lipatan while the betinas in Penang are melipating too much!
hahaha!!
Frankieee…. Azman….
