Description
Jajanan pasar — literally "market snacks" — is the collective term for the dozens of small, colourful, rice-flour and coconut-based sweets sold at Indonesian traditional markets every morning. These are not "desserts" in the Western sense — they are BREAKFAST foods, snacks, and offerings. The jajanan pasar tradition is one of the most culturally significant food traditions in Indonesia, predating colonial influence (the original jajanan pasar were entirely vegan and gluten-free — rice flour, coconut, palm sugar, pandan — reflecting pre-colonial Indonesian ingredients).
