Description
Lontong is ketupat's simpler cousin — rice packed into a cylindrical banana-leaf roll and boiled until compressed and firm. The result is similar to ketupat (dense, sliceable compressed rice) but the shape is cylindrical, and the banana leaf imparts a subtle grassy aroma. Lontong is the rice form served with sate Madura, lontong sayur (vegetable curry), and lontong balap (a Surabaya soup).
