About this dish

Kolak (or kolek) is an Indonesian sweet dessert based on palm sugar or coconut sugar, coconut milk, and pandanus leaf (P. amaryllifolius). A variation in which banana is added, is called kolak pisang or banana kolak. Other variations may add ingredients such as pumpkins, sweet potatoes, jackfruit, plantains, cassava, rice balls, tapioca pearls, and kolang-kaling (aren palm fruit). It is usually served warm or at room temperature, but some prefer it cold. In Indonesia, kolak is a popular iftar dish, locally known as takjil (sugary snacks and drinks consumed to break the fast) during the holy month of Ramadan, and is also a popular street food.
