How to make BURAS/BURASA'

 

The first thing you have to do is prepare a good rice, old coconut to make coconut milk, salt, yarn and banana leaves are wide-sized. Once everything is prepared, start by washing the rice with clam water three times. After that, steam the rice until half cooked then lift and chill. So also with coconut, grated first and then squeezed to produce coconut milk. After that, the coconut milk boiled until boiling and added enough salt then lift and pour into the rice that has been half-baked earlier. Stir until everything is well blended. Next step, clean the banana leaves that have been prepared before use. Cut the banana leaf in two sizes. For the first form the width is about 30x30 cm which is used as the outermost layer in the buras. The second form, smaller size about 20x20 cm which is used as an inner layer.

The next process is wrapping. Take 1 larger banana leaf as the outer layer of the wrapper and 1 piece smaller as the inner layer. Put half cooked rice as much as 1 tablespoon of rice just above the small leaves. Fold both banana leaves simultaneously each 2x folds. After everything has been wrapped, take yarn to tie the buras. In 1 strap the rope is used for 2 packs of the buras by putting the two of the buras are back to back or folds of the second wrapper of the buras is in the middle. It aims that when the bird is cooked, the rice in the wrapper was not out. The binding process is done by wrapping the rope up a few times and then pulling the ends of the string to form a knot.

The last step is to cook the buras that have been in the bunch. The process of cooking is done by first entering the buras into a large pan in a stack and give water until everything is inundated. Cook with a large enough fire for approximately 2 hours. After the color of the banana leaf or wrapping change the color to kecokela-brown it indicates that the buras have been cooked and ready for profit lifted then presented.
