Green pandan crepes rolled around sweet palm-sugar coconut
Explore the Dish
Dadar gulung is a beloved Indonesian sweet snack: a soft, springy crepe coloured and scented green with pandan leaf, rolled around a warm filling of grated coconut cooked in palm sugar (unti). Sweet, fragrant and a little chewy, it is a classic of Bali’s jaja (traditional cake) tradition.
The pandan gives both the colour and the distinctive grassy-vanilla aroma; the palm-sugar coconut filling is rich and caramel-like. It is the kind of treat you buy by the handful at a market.
Look for dadar gulung at morning markets, jaja stalls and traditional snack shops. It is best fresh, when the crepe is soft and the filling still warm.
Dadar gulung belongs to Indonesia’s vast family of jajan pasar (market snacks), made with rice flour, coconut and palm sugar. In Bali these sweets also feature in offerings and ceremonies.
