Pulut Tatal is a Nyonya food made of glutinous rice. Although this traditional food is quite common in Malaysia, but you can hardly find it in the market. Before Chinese New Year, my wife’s friend had requested her to prepare some foods for a function organized by Lapis Lazuli Light (Malaysia). One of the foods she made was Pulut Tatal. The response was encouraging especially when it was served together with eggless Kaya (pumpkin jam). Some participants of the function had even asked the organizer whether the Kaya is for sale. Here is the recipe of this Pulut Tatal:
Ingredients A:
a) 500g glutinous rice, washed and soaked overnight, let it dry
b) 250ml coconut milk
c) A pinch of salt
d) A few pieces of pandan leaves, knotted
e) A few pieces of banana leaves
Ingredients B:
a) 20 pieces of Bunga Telang (butterfly pea flowers)
b) Some water
Method:
1. Put pandan leaves on soaked and dried glutinous rice.
2. Wash and put banana leaves into boiled water, take out and let it dry.
3. Put glutinous rice into bamboo steamer to steam for 15 mins.
4. Wash and pound the flower. Mix with some water and boil it. Strain and extract the indigo colored water and set aside.
5. Add the salt in coconut milk and stir it.
6. Add the coconut milk in glutinous rice and stir it.
7. Continue to steam for another 15 mins or until it is cooked.
8. Take out 1/3 of glutinous rice and mix with indigo colored water.
9. Mix this indigo colored glutinous rice with original glutinous rice. Pour it out into a container laid with banana leaves and press it.
10. Wait till it is cold, cut into pieces and serve it with kaya (pumpkin jam).
