Mum is off to her ladies night with her pulut tai tai and home made kaya. I do hope it will be popular. Thank you mum for helping me promote my kuih creations.
So what is pulut tai tai. Pulut means rice in Malay. It is also called Blue Glutinous Rice Cakes in English. You eat it by dipping the pulut into kaya which will give it a sweet taste. In Asia the blue comes from Bunga Telang or Blue Pea Flower. We can't find the flower here in NZ so I substituted it with blue colouring.
So what are the ingredients, well all you need is glutinous rice, thin coconut and thick coconut milk and some banana and pandan leaves. You also need a lot of patience steaming the pulut.
Ingredients in pictures,
You will need to soak the glutinous rice in water overnight to soften it. It helps to cook the rice faster.
The next day, mix the thin coconut milk into the glutinous rice. Don't forget to drain the water out.
Next, steam the rice
Once the rice is cooked, put the rice into a square cake tin and cover with a banana leaf. If you don't have banana leave, you can use an aluminum foil.
Finally, once it is cool, slice it up and prepare to taste the kuih. Don't forget to put some kaya on it. Enjoy!!!
