Kalamay hati Recipe

Kalamay hati is a native kakanin or rice cake. It is made from ground sticky rice, sugar, mascuvado, coconut milk and sesame seeds. It is brownish in color; it is very sticky that you will almost spend your whole time chewing it.

Ingredients:

2 kilos of pilit (sticky or glutinous rice used in rice cakes)
6 kilos of brown sugar
1 kilo of mascobado
1/2 kilo of sesame seeds for toppings (optional)

Cooking Instructions:

Wash the glutinous rice. Make sure you wash it thoroughly. Put the glutinous rice in a bowl and add some water (use the proportions you have with an equivalent amount of rice; for this recipe, you can use 1 1/2 to 2 cups of water). The next step is to galling or to grind the glutinous rice. The ground glutinous rice is now ready to be mixed with the coconut milk (stir this mixture consistently for 45 mins.) After 45 mins., add the combined mascobado and brown sugar. Stir this mixture continuously for 45 minutes. The kalamay hati is now ready to serve. You can sprinkle the sesame seeds as toppings.
