About this dish

Tumpeng is an Indonesian cone-shaped rice dish with side dishes of vegetables and meat originating from Javanese cuisine. Traditionally featured in the slametan ceremony, the rice is made by using a cone-shaped woven bamboo container. As its counterpart the Spanish paella, today it can be found in other celebrations as well, such as for birthdays or parties. The rice itself may be plain steamed rice, uduk rice (cooked with coconut milk), or yellow rice (uduk rice colored with turmeric). The rice cone is set out on the tampah (rounded woven bamboo container), covered with a banana leaf, and surrounded by assorted Indonesian dishes.
