The unique name of the food is sure to make you feel very curious about entil. At first glance, entil has a very similar appearance to a rice cake. But there is a difference between entil and rice cake. The packaging used to wrap entil is not banana leaves.
The people of Tabanan wrap entil with tengilidi leaves.

You can enjoy entil with a savory gravy dish.
