Instructions
- Mix the glutinous rice flour, sugar, salt and half of the coconut milk until you get a smooth batter.
- Divide the batter into four bowls and color each one (yellow, green, purple, red), adding a little coconut milk to each.
- Steam each layer separately for 10 to 15 minutes, until it is translucent and firm.
- In a greased mold, pour one layer, let it set for 5 minutes, then add the next, alternating colors.
- Let cool completely before unmolding and slicing. Sprinkle with grated coconut if you like.
Variations and tips
Natural version. Replace the coloring with pandan juice (green), purple sweet potato purée and beet juice for a gentler look.
