El Fogón de Frakie

The other name is Steamed Bamboo Cake. Traditional Kue Putu is famous for the whistling sound of the steam from the bamboo tubes used to cook it. It’s a cylindrical rice cake filled with palm sugar and topped with savory grated coconut.   Ingredient:  

• • 250g Coarse rice flour

• • 100ml Water (infused with pandan and salt).

• • 100g Palm sugar

• • Freshly grated coconut

Methods:  

• • Moisten: Gradually spray pandan water onto the rice flour, rubbing it between your fingers until it looks like damp sand. Sieve to create fine granules.

• • Fill: Lightly fill a bamboo tube (or small mold) halfway with the flour. Add a layer of palm sugar, then more flour. Do not press down.

• • Steam: Steam the tubes for 10 minutes until the flour is cooked through.

• • Serve: Push the cake out of the tube and serve immediately with grated coconut.
