==Cooking== Lepet is made by steaming the ketan (sticky rice) until half cooked in coconut milk then mixing it with pandan leaf and salt until all of the coconut milk is absorbed into the sticky rice. Then the half-cooked coconut milk sticky rice is mixed further with grated coconut flesh and peanuts then wrapped inside janur (young yellowish coconut leaf) in a cylindrical shape and secured with strings made from coconut leaf fibers (or any kind of strings). The rice packages inside the coconut leaf are then steamed further until completely cooked. The most common filling is peanuts; however, other kinds of beans such as kidney beans, cowpeas, jack beans, or corn might also be used.
