Ingredients

1 cup glutinous rice
200 ml coconut milk, preferably freshly squeezed
1 pandan leaf
100 ml coconut cream, preferably freshly squeezed

Filling
Approx 5 large banana leaves
1 cup freshly grated coconut
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 pandan leaf

Preparation

Soak the glutinous rice for at least two hours, covering with water at room temperature.

Drain the rice and place in a saucepan with the coconut milk and pandan leaf. Simmer, covered, until rice is tender and liquid absorbed (about 20 minutes). Add the coconut cream and stir through. Cover and allow to cool.

Soften the banana leaves by soaking them for 1/2 hour in hot water or microwave them, without water, for 2 minutes. Drain and cool. Cut into 15cm squares.

Meanwhile, place the coconut and brown sugar in a heavy-bottomed skillet or small saucepan and simmer until the sugar melts and caramelises. Stir until the mixture is quite dry.

Place 1 1/2 tablespoons of the sticky rice in the centre of each banana leaf square and top with 1 tablespoon of the sugar and coconut mix. Allow to stand for at least 1/2 hour in order to develop the flavours. Unwrap and eat!

Wrong recipe?
I used white glutinous rice and the recommended amount of coconut milk, but the liquid evaporated long before the rice was cooked...would recommend adding an extra 100-200ml. I also served my sticky rice with caramelised bananas and butterscotch sauce, with a few toasted almonds
