How to make kuih putu ? (Nyonya kue)?
this kuih quite famouse in Singapore and indonesia
Answers:
KUIH PUTU is a local Malay delicacy believed to have its roots coming all the way from South Asia. It is very well know in Indonesia and Singapore as well.
Traditionally cottony white in appearance, this spongy yet soft rice cake is served with a generous filling of "gula melaka" (palm sugar). The taste is "luscious, giddying and sinful" when melting hot, especially when taken with the lightly salted grated coconut toppings. The complimenting sweet aroma of the pandan leaves also never fails to keep our customers coming back for more.
