Kue kochi or koci (also known as passover cake in English) is a Maritime Southeast Asian dumpling (kue or kuih) found in Javanese, Malay and Peranakan cuisine, made from glutinous rice flour, and stuffed with coconut fillings with palm sugar.[1] [2]
In Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, this snack is often as a dessert and can be eaten anytime (during breakfast or tea time). The black colour of the unpolished rice symbolises death, while the sweet filling represents resurrection.[2]
