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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Drain the soaked rice and set it aside.
Step 3
In a large pot, bring 1500 ml of water to a boil. Add the drained black glutinous rice and pandan leaves to the pot.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
In a separate small saucepan, gently heat the coconut milk with salt until warm. Do not let it boil.
Step 7
Remove the pandan leaves from the rice mixture. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more palm sugar.
Step 8
Serve the warm Pulut Hitam in bowls with a generous drizzle of the warmed coconut milk on top.
Step 9
For an extra aroma, you can add a knot of pandan leaf to the coconut milk while warming and remove it before serving.
