Ketan Serundeng (Gluten-Free Sweet Rice with Coconut)

Ingredients

• 2 cups Glutinous Rice
• 1.5 cups Water
• 1 cup Coconut Milk
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Grated Coconut (fresh)
• 1/2 cup Palm Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Rice Flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground Coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Galangal (ground)
• 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 2 Shallots (minced)

Instructions

1. 1Rinse the glutinous rice until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
2. 2Drain the rice and steam it for about 30 minutes, or until it's partially cooked.
3. 3In a saucepan, combine coconut milk and salt. Bring to a simmer. Add the partially cooked rice and stir gently until the liquid is absorbed. Continue steaming for another 15 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and sticky.
4. 4While the rice is steaming for the second time, prepare the serundeng: In a separate pan, combine grated coconut, palm sugar, rice flour, coriander, turmeric, galangal, garlic powder, and shallots.
5. 5Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the coconut is dry and lightly browned. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
6. 6Once the rice is cooked, let it cool slightly. Serve the rice topped generously with the serundeng.
