Kelupis (lit. 'glutinous rice rolls')[1] is a traditional kuih (snack) for the Bisaya, Kedayan, Dusun, Bajau, and Lun Bawang people of East Malaysia and Brunei.[2][3][4] Its closest counterparts in West Malaysia are ketupat and lemang.[5] In Brunei, kelupis has been recognised as a national cultural heritage.[6]

Kelupis is commonly eaten within ethnic communities of Sabah and Sarawak during festivities, such as weddings.[7][8][9] As it is produced in large quantities, kelupis is usually made communally.[10]

Preparation

[edit]

Kelupis, which is made from glutinous rice mixed with coconut milk and a little salt, is usually eaten with side dishes such as meat or chicken rendang and curry.[11] The process involves grating old coconut to obtain coconut milk.[10] The glutinous rice is washed and mixed with coconut milk and salt, and the mixture is stirred until it is half cooked.[7][11] It is then wrapped in phacelophrynium maximum or licuala grandis leaves.[11][12] Kelupis is eaten on its own or dipped in sauce.[12] Similarly to lamban, it is also commonly served with peanut sauce and rendang.[13]
