Dadar gulung are rolled pandan pancakes stuffed with coconut and palm sugar. This popular sweet Indonesian street food, often found sitting next to kelpon (onde onde), is satisfyingly easy to make at home.
These green rolled pancakes are a perfect morning or afternoon snack with a cup of tea. I will admit they also make a great dessert with a scoop of ice cream.

Dadar Gulung, Indonesian Coconut Pancakes
Ingredients
Coconut Filling
- 150 g (2 cups) shredded coconut
- 150 g palm sugar
- ¼ teaspoon pandan paste
- 125 ml (½ cup) water
- pinch of salt
Pandan Pancakes
- 225 g (1 ½ cup) plain flour
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 250 ml water
- 1 egg
- 1½ teaspoon pandan paste
- vegetable oil | for cooking
Instructions
Coconut Filling
- Put all the coconut filling ingredients in a pot and cook over low heat until the liquid has completely evaporated. Be sure to give it a stir frequently so that the bottom doesn't burn. When the filling is fairly dry, without visible liquid, it is ready.
- Remove coconut filling from the head and transfer to a bowl. Se to the side while you make the pancakes.
Pandan Pancakes
- Place flour, coconut milk, water, and egg in a bowl. Whisk until ingredients are completely combined and smooth.
- Whisk in pandan paste. Add a little extra if you want more vibrant pancakes.
- The mixture should resemble a crepe batter. Adjust with extra flour or water if required.
- Add a small dash of oil to a non-stick frying pan on medium-high heat. Use a piece of kitchen towel to wipe it around the pan and remove any excess.
- Add around ⅓ cup of pancake batter to the pan and swirl it around to create a thin round layer. Immediately lower the heat to a medium-low.
- Cook until the pancake is loose when you shake the pan. Remove from the pan and place on a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
Dadar Gulung Assembly
- Near the edge of the lower half of one pancake, place roughly 1-2 tablespoons of coconut filling.
- To roll the pancake, fold the bottom over once, then the right and left sides to the centre and over again. Repeat with the remaining pancakes and filling.
