The peanut sauce for petjel is poured lukewarm as a dressing over the vegetable salad and sprinkled with fried onions (preferably from shallots) and served immediately. Petjel can be served in combination with other dishes, but also with rice as a complete main course. This dish is very popular with vegetarians. Petjel is very popular in Suriname, where the recipe was once taken by the Javanese. A fixed part of the Surinamese petjel is dagoe leaf (water spinach). The composition and taste of the Surinamese petjel sauce differs slightly from the original Javanese sauce.
