#goldenapron #nonindianSteamed jackfruit rice cake is prepared with ripe jackfruit and trust me it is so yummy any soft to eat. The major ingredient used over is from my parents garden, the jackfruit, coconut and banana leaves. This is one of traditional recipes from Kerala that is not commonly made nowadays due to fast life and no time. I love to keep up my tradition so whenever I am in my parents house I do make it a point to maximum use all vegetables and fruits from our garden.

Palitaw is a term used to call a sweet flat rice cake that is eaten in the Philippines as a snack or dessert. Originally, grounded or pounded sticky rice is used to make this rice cake (called kakanin in the local language) you can use simply coconut ,sugar and toasted sesame seed for flavoring.

Idiyappam or string hoppers are popular South Indian breakfast dish made of very few ingredients like rice flour and water. In Kerala, these are usually served with vegetable stew. In some parts of Kerala, these are called nool puttu, while in Tamil Nadu, sevai is a popular breakfast dish. I’ll give you plenty of tips and tricks to make your family go ‘wow’.Ok, let’s do this. Start with the number one tip.1. Use good quality rice flourIf you really want to make idiyappams that taste great, you need to buy good quality rice flour. Classic idiyappam recipes call for raw rice flour. And that’s exactly why you must visit your local Indian grocery store. Raw rice flour is totally different from the regular rice flour you buy from other grocery stores.2. Roast the flourRoasted rice flour is readily available from Indian chops. Look for “idiyappam podi, appam podi” etc. If you can’t find roasted rice flour for your idiyappam recipe, buy regular rice flour and roast it at home. All you need to do is lightly fry it over low flame. Don’t forget to stir continuously.3. Use boiling waterIt is important to allow the water to come to a boil before adding it to rice flour. Warm water is not enough if you want soft and delicious idiyappam.4. Don’t let dough cool completelyWell, this is obviously a very important tip. While you’re pressing the idiyappam, the dough needs to be slightly warm. That way, idiyappam remains soft and holds it's shape really well.

This is steamed rice cake or popular as Chwee kueh, with preserved turnip and pickled mustard topping, chili sauce and toasted sesame seeds. It is a very popular dish in Singapore as favorite breakfast or snack item. Usually I make these chwee kueh for our lunch. The texture is really nice, smooth and very light.Those that are sold at hawker centers usually do not add sweet pickled mustard in their topping. But I found it too salty if I use only persevered radish. I always make the topping in a big batch and divide into a few small packets and store it in the freezer, it can be kept in the freezer up to a month and heat up before use.I do the same with the chili sauce, I use homemade chili sauce. We call this chili sauce as sambal nasi lemak, because normally we have this sambal as side dish for our coconut rice (nasi lemak).

First trial :) texture of the cake is a bit chewy because of the glutinous rice flour :) I used 21 cm diameter pan.The oil/butter used in this recipe is quite a lot. Because the glutinous rice flour somehow absorb a lot of moisture otherwise the cake will get harden the next day. I tried to cut down the oil/butter by half and it doesn’t turn out well 😂

The word Palitaw means to float/floating. When the palitaw floats, it means that it is already cooked. It is a traditional snack that will surely satisfy your cravings.

My son unfortunately has allergies. I made this delicious dish for him using rice flour and olive oil which is good for the body.The power of each oven is different so please adjust the cooking time as necessary.This is different from a standard flour cake because it's springy when freshly done. It's delicious.Of course you can store this in the fridge and it's still delicious. Recipe by Ryo---ko

Trivia: Suman is a Filipino traditional rice cake that’s usually eaten during breakfast or afternoon snack paired with coconut jam, cocoa chocolate and coffee! This recipe was from my Lola’s (grandmother). She used to cook and sell this around our community when she was still alive. She literally did all the hard work from getting banana leaves, running them over fire to make the leaves soft, wrapping ( the most tedious process for me) cooking to selling. Hats off to my grandmother! ❤️

I keep getting request to cook Biko during family occasions. Living in other country is hard. That even if it's not your favorite food, you still miss it. (Excuse the quality of the photos, it's as raw as it can get with no enhancement or effects).

This is a Filipino sweet ricecake usually eaten as snack. Very easy to make

I have learned how to make sakura mochi, but I didn't have rice flour, domyoji flour, or a cherry blossom leaf...I wanted to make a sakura mochi easily, so I came up with this recipe.-A little amount of the red food colouring is enough to turn the rice pink, so don't add too much. If you add too much, the rice turns red.-A pinch of salt gives the rice a salty kick, and it will taste like the authentic sakura mochi. If you don't have the salted cherry blossom leaf, add little more salt in the rice to adjust the taste. I taste the mixture at the Step 3, and adjust the taste to my liking. Recipe by Marrietty
