Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g black glutinous rice
- 1500 ml water
- 100 g palm sugar
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 2 leaves pandan leaves
Instructions
Rinse the black glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in a bowl of water for at least 4 hours or overnight if possible.
Drain the soaked rice and set it aside.
In a large pot, bring 1500 ml of water to a boil. Add the drained black glutinous rice and pandan leaves to the pot.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, partially covered, for about 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
Once the rice is soft and the mixture has a porridge-like consistency, add in the palm sugar and stir until it is fully dissolved.
In a separate small saucepan, gently heat the coconut milk with salt until warm. Do not let it boil.
Remove the pandan leaves from the rice mixture. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more palm sugar.
Serve the warm Pulut Hitam in bowls with a generous drizzle of the warmed coconut milk on top.
For an extra aroma, you can add a knot of pandan leaf to the coconut milk while warming and remove it before serving.
