this rice dessert (kakanin) is one of a kind. its very simple to make yet it is one of the most famous and impossible to resist. its only in the philippines that can have a try with this.
Ingredients
1/2 kilo of glutinous rice
1 grated coconut
sugar
toasted sesame seeds
pandan leaves (optional)
soak the rice with water until it is covered. let it stand for an hour. ground it (go to the market, just tell the person in a grinding section of the market its for palitaw). shape them into balls and flatten. in a pot of boiling water put the pandan leaves. when its boiling drop the palitaw one at a time. it is cooked when it floats. (hence the name palitaw from the word palitawin, to float or to surface) coat it with shredded coconut and sugar with toasted sesame seeds.
