Putu Mayam

Putu mayam is a Tamil dish in Malaysia. It is popular in Malaysia. Putu piring is a Malaysian version of putu mayam in which the rice flour dough is used to form a small cake around a filling of coconut and gur or jaggery. Putu mayam is also closely related to the Malaysian cendol which substitutes green pea flour for the rice flour in making the noodles. In all forms of the dish, pandan flavouring, as an extract or as chopped leaves, is typical. In Malaysia, putu mayam and its relatives are commonly sold as street food from market stalls or carts, as well as being made at home, and are usually served cold.
