This dish is great served with squares of compressed rice. This can be made by boiling (or steaming) rice in the normal way and then allowing it to cool. Place it in a plastic bag and then flatten it with a rolling pint. Shape it until it is about 1cm thick and try and make a squarish shape out of it. Put it in the fridge until it is cold and the cut it into squares. Place on a plate and spoon the lodeh over the top.
