Putu Piring is a traditional Malaysian steamed rice cake that is filled with sweet palm sugar and served with freshly grated coconut.

This delightful dessert has its roots in the Malay culture and is often enjoyed during festive occasions and celebrations.

To make Putu Piring, rice flour is mixed with water to form a dough, which is then filled with a generous amount of palm sugar.

The filled dough is shaped into small discs and steamed until they are soft and cooked through.

Once ready, the steamed cakes are served with a side of grated coconut, adding a lovely texture and flavor contrast.

In Malaysia, Putu Piring is commonly enjoyed as a sweet treat or dessert, and it is often sold by street vendors and at local markets.

While Putu Piring is a delicious and satisfying dessert, it is important to enjoy it in moderation due to its high sugar content from the palm sugar filling.
