Kue putu

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Kue Putu is a traditional Indonesian dessert made from rice flour, palm sugar, and coconut. It is a popular street food in Indonesia and is also found in the Philippines and Malaysia.

Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]

Kue Putu is made by mixing rice flour with water and then steaming the mixture in a bamboo tube until it becomes firm. The bamboo tube is lined with banana leaves to prevent the mixture from sticking. The steamed rice cake is then filled with palm sugar and topped with grated coconut.

Variations[edit | edit source]

There are several variations of Kue Putu, including Putu Bambu and Putu Piring. Putu Bambu is similar to the traditional Kue Putu but is steamed in a bamboo tube, while Putu Piring is steamed in a small plate or saucer.

Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]

Kue Putu is often served during special occasions and festivals in Indonesia, such as Eid al-Fitr and Christmas. It is also a popular dessert during the Ramadan fasting period.
