Pulut Hitam or Black Rice Porridge Method Step by Step:
1. Wash the rice in several changes of cold water and drain well. Put into a
saucepan with the water and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Add both kinds of sugar and daun pandan
or longan whatever you choose
to flavour the porridge. Cook until the rice grains are very tender, about 40
minutes. Stir now and then to prevent rice sticking to the bottom of the pan,
and add more boiling water if the porridge becomes too thick.
2. Serve warm, with a little lightly salted coconut milk poured over.
