I found your blog very interesting wi...Hi Shaheen,<br /><br />I found your blog very interesting with all the information on your culture and cuisine. Your blog encourages me to learn cooking Indian dishes.<br /><br />This Black RIce... In my country we called it Black Gluntinous Rice or Khao Niew (Thai), Pulut Hitam (Malay). It's also known as Pulot Hitam or Indonesian Black Rice - is a nutty whole grain widely consumed in mainly in Southeast Asia countries of in Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines. <br /><br />Black or purple rice is unmilled, leaving a dark husk in place, which colors the grains when it cooks.Because it's unhulled, black and purple varieties of rice are classified as brown rice (which only adds the confusion), but therefore are cooked a little differently than varieties of white rice. It's often used in desserts, because they go so well with sugar.<br /><br />In my country, we use it for <br /><br />1) Bubur Pulut Hitam/Black Glutinous RIce Porridge<br /><br />'Bubur' means 'porridge'<br /><br />What we do is to soak the grains (overnight)-this method is used also for White Glutinous Rice/Sticky Rice). Then it's boil in some water with 1-2 Pandan/Pandanus leaves (Screwpine leaves) until soften (or al dente to some people who likes it to be slighty 'nutty' but ilike mine to well cook inside but the grain still hold it's shape-not 'bursting' overcook)) and we add some sugar to taste. You can use white sugar or brown sugar to sweeten it. I prefer Palm Sugar-it's more fragrant... For garnish, we add fresh thick coconut milk (First press) with little salt in it-gives more creamy taste. Dribble few teaspoons of this coconut milk-salt mix into the black rice. This would give a nice contrast - white on dark purple dessert ...<br /><br />For the chinese, we like to add seeded dried longan fruit and also dried orange peel. This gives the black rice dessert sorstof tangy taste.<br /><br />2) Wajik<br />Black Rice/White Glutinous Rice cooked with Palm/White Sugar and Coconut Milk...<br /><br />3) ... with fresh cut Mango or Durian... hahahhaa ... yummyyyyy...<br /><br />SiewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23122419.post-10033624196659041722006-09-23T07:19:00.000-04:002006-09-23T07:19:00.000-04:00kitchenmate, i will add ur advice to the post than...kitchenmate, i will add ur advice to the post thanks. hmm i should try with jaggery next time.<br />annita, after coming here, i realised there is so much to learn and taste.:)<br />inji, black sticky rice is a thai/malay rice available at asian food stores. try it since u like the red rice payasam. it has an amazing depth of flavor.Shah cooks https://www.blogger.com/profile/08793721992861560043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23122419.post-91703490354271750132006-09-21T21:11:00.000-04:002006-09-21T21:11:00.000-04:00Never seen this.
