Kue Putu or Putu Bamboo is an Indonesian traditional cake, consists of palm sugar wrapped with rice flour... it's cooked by steaming it inside cuts of bamboo pipes which make a typical noisy sound just like when you boil water in the kettle, and that's what makes it unique. When it's getting hot, the palm sugar burst out just like a melting lava.... yummy!
Desiccated coconut is sprinkled all over the Putu Bamboo....
It's easy to find this cake in my country, it's quiet cheap but it's only sold only at night.....
The dracaena leaves are the secret of how this cake's color turns pretty green
250gr rice flour
100ml water
2dracaena leaves
1/2tbs salt
175gr thinly sliced palm sugar
140gr desiccated coconut, steamed with salt to taste
Directions:
Boil the water,salt and dracaena leaves, then pick up and let it warm. Meanwhile, put rice flour in a big bowl then pour the dracaena water little by little while mixing by hand until smooth grains. Use a sieve with a large holes to shape the dough in fine gains.Now put a half spoon of the flour dough in a bamboo pipe, insert the palm sugar, then cover with half of flour dough, don't press! Use banana leave to cover the bottom of the bamboo pipe. Steam in medium heat for 20mins. Serve with sprinkles of salty desiccated coconut. God! what a delicious traditional dish! Yummy!!
Wow, those look absolutely stunning! Recipe sound amazing and photos beautiful!
