Nasi bakar refers to steamed rice seasoned with spices and ingredients and wrapped in banana leaf secured with lidi semat and later grilled upon charcoal fire. The burned banana leaf produced a unique aroma on the rice. The banana leaf package is opened upon consumption. It is a relatively newly developed Indonesian dish around the early 2000s, probably derived from nasi timbel rice wrapped in banana leaves.
