In Malaysia, Putu Mayam and its relative are often sold as street food from market stalls or carts, as well as being made at home, and are usually served cold.

We, the Super Marios, are here today to teach you how to make your very own Putu Mayam!

All you need is: 

300gm of rice flour

15 Screwpine leaves

500gm fine brown sugar or chopped palm sugar

100 Grated coconut, white part only

A dash of green colouring

4. Transfer rice flour to a mixing bowl, add salt, mix well.
5. Gradually stir in screwpine juices.
