Salukara is a Filipino pancake made with galapong, or ground rice flour.[3] Simple yeast is used as a raising agent, while some use tuba, or palm wine. Rice is used to make it, with native rice being used.[4] It is cooked in pans with pork lard.[5] It is then contained in banana leaves.[4] It tastes like bibingka, with a hint of puto.[6] It has been compared to American pancakes.[7]
Salukara was already a delicacy from the Spanish tenure, with ingredients unchanged.[4] Salukara was enjoyed by Ben Evardone, Eastern Samar's governor, House Representative Maria Fe and Actor Boy Abunda also enjoyed this dish. It appeared in television shows and festivals.[8] Salukara is regularly sold near populated places.[9][10] In July 2019, it was one of the entries in the Can-avid town festival.[11] In December 2022, it was one of the entries in the Arteche town festival.[12]
