The Making of Puto Maya

Leave a comment Posted by on August 14, 2014

I chanced upon this guy steaming glutinous rice and about to make puto maya in Carbon Market. Here’s a photo narration in the right sequence of this guy’s method in making puto maya.

image

Steam the glutinous rice (bugas pilit) al dente in the caldero

image

In a sando plastic bag covered hand, use plastic plate to transfer the steamed pilit into a tub

image

Prepare a mixture of coconut milk (gata) and sugar with salt

image

Pour the gata onto the cooked pilit

image

Mix well the gata with the cooked pilit using the versatile plastic plate

image

Put the well mixed pilit back in the caldero

image

After putting everything back, steam again until fully cooked. From what I gather from the guy’s conversation with another person, this puto maya was ordered for a wake

Rub-a-dub-dub, three sticky rice thing in a tub.
And what do you think they were?

This lady vendor in Prambanan Temple Compound has three appealing variations of sticky rice snack where the texture and taste are similar to a couple of glutinous rice based kakanin in the Philippines.

The purple one taste like puto maya while the pink one looks like an odd-shaped mochi with no filling (I was too full of the purple and green stuff to try this one, and its color isn’t natural that’s why).

The green thing that’s more visible in the photo below taste like suman sa lihiya but presented in tiny square bite size.

Sticks as utensil and banana leaf as plate

Whichever color you’d choose, they’ll be served with that latik at the center of the tub (sugar-coconut syrup), and garnished with grated coconut meat.
