Tipat or ketupat is a rice cake which often serves as a replacement for rice. The peanut sauce can be either mild, or hot and spicy with the addition of chili pepper. Usually bawang goreng (fried shallots) are sprinkled upon the dish, as well as kecap manis (sweet soy sauce). It is one of the few Balinese vegetarian dishes. Tipat cantok is akin to Javanese pecel and Jakartan gado-gado. In some dialects, it is also called tipat santok.
