Grilled Glutinous Rice (pulut Panggang Delight)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups glutinous rice, soaked for 4 hours
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Drain the soaked glutinous rice and place it in a large bowl.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk, sugar, and salt over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture over the glutinous rice and stir to combine.
  3. Place a knotted pandan leaf on each piece of banana leaf. Spoon a portion of the glutinous rice mixture onto the pandan leaf.

  6. Remove from the grill and let cool for a few minutes before unwrapping and serving.
