At home we ate ketupat kari. Ketupat is steamed rice cake wrapped in young coconut leaves (see left picture below). We cut it open, slice it, and usually eat it with kari ayam (chicken curry) and sambal goreng ati (liver in dried chily souce).
It is also the traditon here that people decorate their homes with fragrant flowers like bunga sedap malam (polianthes tuberosa) - the white flowers on long stems in the picture - to welcome their guests. I forgot to buy it until late this morning, so when I got to the nearby florist, we didn't have much choice.

Thanks for these wonderful and eye-opening pictures which teach us about your Eid.
I am happy to learn about your outdoor prayer, especially since I just now posted about our prayer for this day, also outdoors.
May you and your family have a joyous Eid ul Fitr.
Great posting of religious traditions, food, flowers!
Love your concept & photos. Hats off.
