Ingredients

• 100 grams Black glutinous rice
• 200 grams Cauliflower rice
• 200 grams Konjac rice
• 200 milliliters Coconut milk
• 500 milliliters Water
• 50 grams Erythritol sweetener
• 2 leaves Pandan leaves
• 1 pinch Salt
• 2 tablespoons Toasted coconut flakes

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the black glutinous rice thoroughly under cold water, then soak in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 2

Drain the soaked black glutinous rice and place it into a large saucepan with 500 milliliters of water and the pandan leaves.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Once the black glutinous rice has softened, add the cauliflower rice and konjac rice into the saucepan. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 10 minutes, ensuring the cauliflower rice becomes tender.

Step 5

Add the coconut milk, erythritol sweetener, and a pinch of salt to the pan. Stir continuously and cook for another 5 minutes until the mixture thickens to a porridge-like consistency.

Step 6

Remove the pandan leaves and discard them.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary. Simmer for another few minutes if you prefer a thicker texture.

Step 8

Ladle the Pulut Hitam into serving bowls and garnish with toasted coconut flakes before serving. Serve warm for the best flavor.
