Bubur ketan hitam (black rice porridge)

I started a photo club with my friend this week. It's nothing professional or fancy, it just that we want to learn how to take photos better and most important is to have a friend where we can go photo hunting and discuss the result. So our first project is a mum and her lil girl in the park during falls.

Now it's late falls and the weather is getting colder everyday. For this kind of season, I'm so much into warm beverages and soupy meals. And sometimes after the meal, this warm desert is just yummy. Though in Indonesia, people do eat this at any time of the day. So after coming back from the photo taking, I decided to make this one.

Ingredients:

1 cup black glutinous rice
3 cups of water
1/2 cup palm sugar (brown sugar)
1.5 tsp salt
3 pcs pandan leaves
1 can coconut milk
canned jackfruit (as much as you like)
salt
2 cm of ginger (crushed)

Directions:

1. Soak the rice in water overnight (or at least few hours before)
2. Boil the rice in water and add 1 pandan leaves and ginger
3. Boil till the rice is soft (app. 1 hour)

4. Add the sugar and 1 tsp salt
5. In a separate bowl make the sauce: heat the coconut milk, add the 0.5 tsp salt and pandan leaves
6. Chopped the canned jack fruit
7. Serve the black rice, the sauce and jack fruit.
