Urap Ketan Hitam Saus Gula Jawa

This Indonesian sweet dish is stuck in my memory. I used to eat it when I was small. Every morning my mom went to the local market and always came home with it and other snacks. The sellers who sell this sweet also sell other sweet dishes called "jajan pasar". Along with it (as I remember) in one wrap banana leaf there were also "tiwul", "gerontol jagung" - corn flowers with grated coconut, "gethuk"- steamed-cassava cake, " and cenil" - colorful sago palm sweet. I don't really have a knowledge to make it, but based on my strong memory of this dish and how it tasted I try to figure out myself to make it. The proportions of the ingredients are just approximately, it's possible to reduce or to raise the coconut milk.

This is also my entry to participate a foodie event called "Masak Bareng Yuk" which theme is rice.
