(Masbar) Putu Mayang (Petulo) (Indonesian Steamed Rice Flour in Coconut Milk Palm Sugar Syrup)

Finally I could participate in this month’s masbar with it’s special theme “Indonesian Traditional Dessert with Rice Ingredients”. You could choose to use whatever rice there is; rice flour, glutinous rice, glutinous rice flour etc. The choices are endless.

I wanted to make the real Putu Mayang but 🙁 I didn’t have the mould. But they say there are many ways to go to Rome so I just made it without the mold, and it still tasted good 🙂
