• 1-2 pandan leaves (daun pandan)
• 100 ml of water (for the sugar)
• Sufficient water (for the flour mixture)

Step 2: Prepare the Cassava

1. Peel the cassava to remove the skin.
2. Boil the cassava in water until it's soft, typically for about 20-30 minutes.
3. Drain and cool the cassava, then mash it until smooth.

Step 3: Make the Sweet Filling

2. Knead the mixture until it forms a dough-like consistency.

Step 5: Shape the Gethuk

1. Divide the dough into small portions.
2. Shape each portion into a flat rectangle or oval.
3. Ensure the thickness is even to promote uniform cooking.

Step 6: Fry the Gethuk
