Indonesian term

tembakau pepes

Indonesian to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Malay lingua franca used in Java during early 20th C.
I know that Sundanese cooking features the 'pepes' technique of wrapping various foods and spices in banana leaf for cooking. I think the term is related but the context is different. The context is a farmer taking 2 baskets of tobacco to market, so it would be only minimally processed.

Sentence in which term appears is: "Tembakau yang Abang bawa ke pasar itu panggang atau pepes?"

Proposed translations

Selected

sun-dried tobacco

Definitions for "pepe" and "pepean" only, but would make sense in terms of (traditional) tobacco processing: toasted vs sun-dried.
Example sentence:

pepe (pépé) III Jw; pepean; tembakau ~ tembakau yg dijemur.

di samping "tembakau pepean" (dikeringkan dengan menjemur)

steamed tobacco

I guess that "tembakau panggang" is "toasted tobacco" and "tembakau pepes" is "steamed tobacco"
Note from asker:
Thank you, Ikram. I agree with 'panggang' > 'toasted' but I'm not sure that 'pepes' > 'steamed'.
