Itak gurgur is a traditionalBatak food that is generally eaten at a particular Batak customary event.[1] It is made with the same ingredients aslampet, rice that has been traditionally milled, known asitak. It is made by kneadingitak with shredded young coconut, sugar, and hot water. Once blended, the dough is molded by hand into the shape of a fist and steamed. The resulting taste is sweet and savory, similar to that oflampet.
