Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes

Kolak, also called kolek, is an Indonesian sweet dessert built on palm sugar or coconut sugar, coconut milk and pandan leaf. A version made with banana is called kolak pisang, and other variations add pumpkin, sweet potato, jackfruit, plantain, cassava, rice balls, tapioca pearls or kolang kaling, the fruit of the aren palm. It is usually served warm, though some prefer it cold, and in Indonesia it is a popular dish for breaking the fast during Ramadan, known locally as takjil, as well as a popular street food.
