VERY MALAYSIAN BREAKFAST

Whenever I attend a meeting, a course or when I go for Service Aid at other schools, I would sure be served with breakfast.  The food that I got was very Malaysian.  There were kuih, pulut inti and fried noodles.
Some of the food served
Packets of pulut inti
Pulut inti is glutionous rice cooked with coconunt milk (santan) and served with grated coconut which is mixed with brown sugar.  It is really yummy.

RECIPE FOR PULUT INTI


Ingredients

Glutinous Rice, 200 gms, soaked for 5 hours to soften
Pandan leaves, 3 pcs
Coconut Milk (Santan), from ½ coconut
Grated coconut, from ½ coconut
Palm Sugar (Gula Melaka), 2”x2”x2”, melted with a little hot water
Sugar, ½ cup
Banana leaves, cut into 6”x6”x6” to be used as wrapper (I could not find banana leaves in my neighborhood, so I just used clear plastic)
A little salt

Add salt and pandan leaves to glutinous rice and steam for 15 minutes or until the rice are cooked. Add coconut milk to the rice and steam for another 10 minutes. To make the Inti (toppings), mix the grated coconut with palm sugar and sugar. Stir until they are well mixed. Put around one small hand grip of glutinous rice on the banana leaves and then put a spoonful of Inti (toppings) on it. Wrap the banana leave into a pyramid shape and fold both ends of the leaves below it to hold the wrapping together.
