The UBE MAJA (Purple Yam Pudding) Recipe Serves 8-10

Ingredients:

1-1/3 cups glutinous rice flour

2/3 cup regular flour

2/3 cup sugar

1 cup plus 3 tablespoons coconut milk

1 cup grated purple yam (ube)

1/2 cup lightly toasted sweetened coconut flakes topping

Method:

In a bowl, combine and mix until smooth the glutinous rice flour, regular flour, sugar, coconut milk and grated purple yam. Transfer mixture to a lightly greased shallow square or round pan that will fit into a large steamer.

Steam mixture for 20 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove from steamer and let cool. When firm, slice diagonally into serving pieces. 

Sprinkle toasted coconut topping on maja just before eating to retain topping crunchiness.
