To make ketupat from coconut leaves, you can follow these steps:
Wrap the pliable part of the coconut leaf spine around your right and left hands up to four times to determine the size of the ketupat.
Hold the ends of the leaf in both hands and insert the leaf coil, right over left, like weaving a mat.
Once the weaving is complete, gently pull on the "tail" to tighten the ketupat.
Put rice into the woven pouch.
Boil the ketupat for several hours over medium heat, adding water as needed to prevent the pot from burning.
Let the ketupat cool before serving.
