BLACK GLUTINOUS RICE DESSERT

Pulut Hitam

or Black Sticky Rice

is unpolished Black Glutinous Rice,

full of beneficial minerals.

Recent research has found it to be a cancer-fighting Superfood.

Black Pulut Porridge 

is one of the few desserts that 

a new mother is able to enjoy during the confinement month.

You will get a plain black pulut dessert in most of the hawkers' stall,

served with a splash of coconut cream on top.

If you are cooking your own,

you can cook it with either dried longan or red beans.

Sometimes, white glutinous rice

 is added to give the extra smooth texture to the dessert.

Sharing with you this recipe:

Black Glutinous Rice Porridge

800ml water

2 pandan leaves, knotted

75-100g sugar

To serve:

thick coconut cream or santan 

1. combine black glutinous rice, water & bring to a boil

2. once boiled, add pandan leaves & cook until soft. 

    Add more water if the liquid dries up. 

    I used the pressure cooker to do the job.
