The PUTO MAYA (Glutinous Rice Cakes) Recipe Serves 12

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups glutinous rice

1 cup regular rice

2-3/4 cups diluted coconut milk

1 cup water

1/2 cup sugar

1-1/2 cups grated fresh coconut

Method:

Combine the two types of rice together and put into a rice cooker. Add coconut milk and water and stir well. 

Turn on rice cooker. If cooker turns off automatically and rice is not quite cooked yet, leave the warm button on until rice is soft and fully cooked. With a spoon, pack rice firmly up to the top of regular-sized muffin molds. 

Let cool. When firm, unmold to a serving platter. Top with grated fresh coconut and sugar just before serving.
