Ketan is a sweet, sticky rice cake that is made using glutinous rice. This is a traditional Indonesian snack that is served during special occasions, such as holidays and religious festivities. Making Ketan can be a little difficult as the process involves multiple steps and requires some skill and patience, but the end result is a delicious and satisfying treat that will be enjoyed by all. Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to make Ketan at home:
Ingredients:
* 2 cups of glutinous rice
* 1/2 cup of sugar
* 2 tablespoons of coconut milk
* 1/2 tablespoon of salt
* 2 tablespoons of butter
* 1/2 cup of chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions:
1. Rinse the glutinous rice in a sieve thoroughly, then put it in a pot and cover it with water.
2. Cook the rice for about 20-25 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is soft. Then, drain the water and set it aside to cool.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, coconut milk, and salt. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
4. Add the cooked, cooled rice to the sugar mixture and mix well until all the ingredients are well blended.
5. Melt the butter in a pan over medium-low heat.
6. Once the butter has melted, add the rice mixture to the pan and stir continuously for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is sticky and the sugar is melted. You can add the chopped peanuts at this stage if you wish.
7. Line a baking pan with parchment paper or grease it with butter.
8. Dump the rice mixture into the pan, spread it evenly, and let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
9. After the Ketan has cooled, cut it into desired portions using a wet knife.
10. Serve the Ketan as it is, or you can garnish it with some crushed peanuts and sweetened condensed milk.
Making Ketan takes time, but the end result is well worth it. Enjoy!
