Sinukmani Recipe

750 ml thick coconut milk (from 3 coconuts)

700-750 ml water

450 g brown sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 kg glutinous rice, washed and soaked for 30 minutes

Method:

Combine the thick coconut milk, water, sugar and salt in a heavy-bottomed pan and bring to a boil.  Add the rice and bring back to a boil.  Lower heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 40 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and almost dry.  Line a 26 cm (10 in) pan with banana leaves.  Pour the rice mixture into the pan and press down with a spatula.  Cool completely before cutting into 5 cm (2 in) squares with a butter knife.  Serve cold.
