Kueh Tu Tu

This is my best favourite snack since young. Kueh tutu with coconuts filling is my favourite.  I have been always wanted to try making it few years ago but the mould is really expensive.  This time after seeing my friends post kueh tutu thus made up my mind to buy the mould without thinking much.

Mould for kueh tutu

This is how I steam the kueh tutu

Ingredients:

1 cup rice flour

1/4 tsp salt

3 pandan leaves (cut into short section)

75-80ml hot water

Filling:

1/4 cup grated coconut (white portion only)

Half of 1/4 cup orange sugar

1.5 tbsp water

Method for filling:

In a saucepan, melt sugar with water on low heat. Add grated coconut. Stir fry till almost dry and set aside.

Method for flour:

1. Stir fry rice flour in a wok with pandan leaves for about 7 to 8 mins on low heat.  As you fry, the pandan leaves will get drier.

2. Mix salt with hot water and sprinkle over fried rice flour with a hand whisk or the back of a fork.  Mix salt solution together with fried rice flour until it become small lumps.

3. Sieve it

4. Fill the mould with a little sieved rice flour. Do not press. Add coconut filling in. Top up with rice flour and lightly press it.  Cover with muslin cloth, flip over and knock onto steamer.

5. Steam with cover under med low heat for 7- 8mins
