Ingredients for Bubur Pulit Hitam
200 g black sticky glutinous rice (available in the dried foods section in Asian supermarkets)
5 cups water
2 pandan leaves, knotted
sugar or chopped gula melaka, to taste
1 cup creamy coconut milk plus 1/2 teaspoon salt, mix well
Recipes
Rinse the black sticky rice with water thoroughly until the water turns clear. Please take note that the color will remain "black" or "purple" but it should look clear. Soak rice for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Add water and pandan leaves in a pot and bring to the boil. Add black sticky rice into the pot – bring to the boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low for 45-60 minutes or until the rice becomes soft and breaks down.
Keep checking the water level and stirring occasionally - if it becomestoo dry, add more water to avoid burning.
Finally, add sugar/Gula Melaka to taste – stir to dissolve.
In another saucepan, heat up the coconut milk on low heat. Add salt to dissolve – set aside.
Serve Bubur Pulut Hitam in small bowls topped with a spoonful of salted coconut milk. Add more coconut milk for creamier texture.
