Itak Gurgur
Itak gurgur is a Batak rice-and-coconut sweet shaped into rustic cakes with palm sugar tucked through the crumb. The texture is sandy, moist, and fragrant, making it a simple offering or coffee-time snack.
π Recipe adapted from Wikidata (Dish)
Rub rice flour, grated coconut, salt, and pandan together until the mixture feels evenly sandy.
Sprinkle in warm water a little at a time until the crumbs hold when pressed.
Fold in grated palm sugar, leaving some streaks so the cakes have sweet pockets.
Press into small mounds or banana-leaf-lined molds without compacting them too heavily.
Steam briefly or serve as soft pressed cakes, depending on desired texture, and cool before serving.
