Kondangan



The Kondangan is the feast that is normally held by the Cocos Islander Community. In the Kondangan it is a must to have 3 kind of dishes beside the other dishes of cakes,cigarettes, fruits,snacks including chocolates etc. The 3 dishes are;

'Rasul' made from the glutinous rice mixed with turmeric and the tandoori or grilled chicken on top of the rices and covered with white cloth.

7 plates of sweets made from rice but mix with raw sugar (brown) or nira sugar or sometimes called gula melaka and coconut milk and they taste sweet and a little bit salty called 'bubur'.

White Rice with the other dishes and gravy like fried fish, steam vegetables,prawn paste etc.

This could also have symbolized the 3 categories of levels in the community, namely the Kings, Scholars or Saints or Wali and the common folks.
