Pulut Hitam Dessert

Pulut Hitam is also known as black glutinous rice porridge. It is a common and delicious dessert found in Singapore. Pulut Hitam is its' malay name.
I dun usually fancy this dessert and the last time i had it was more than 5 years ago. Since i had the crave and was tempted by Tabby last evening, I decided to cook this dessert for my family today as i've bought some black glutinous from the market near my office last Thursday.

Ingredients;
Black glutinous rice
Water
Pandan leaves, knotted
Rock sugar
Brown sugar
Boilng water
Dried longans
Coconut milk

Method;
-Wash & soak glutinous rice for at least 3 hours, drained.
-Add pandan leaves to glutinous rice, pour boiling water over.
-Bring to full boiling & simmer till rice grains breaks.
-Add sugar and dried longans.
-Continue to boil for another 1/2 hr till dessert thickens.
-Serve with coconut milk.
-Enjoy!

*I double boiled my dessert in a rice cooker. By doing so ensures that the rice grains breaks easily and the dessert would not dry up so quickly.

Adding longans to the glutinous rice dessert enhanced the overall taste. Delicious!
