Pirini

Ingredients

Corse rice flour
Pandan leaves
Condensed milk
Rose water (optional) (but its good if you do, coz it gives the nice fragrance and the nice flavour)Sugar
cinnamon and sugar mix

Method

Boil some water with pandan leaves, once you see the small bubbles, start slowly adding the rice flour mixing it thoroughly while u add to make sure u dont get any lumps. if u dump too much, it gets pretty lumpy easily.

Reduce the stove heat a lil bit just so it will kinda simmer. Keep adding the rice flour until it gets a little thick add sugar, about 2 cups (u can taste while u mix, and add if u want it more sweetened)

Add 2-3 teaspoons of condensed milk. But its all personal preferance, so is the sugar limit.

Make sure u dont stop stirring other wise it wont b soon before it goes all lumpy.

Add a bottle cap of rose water, cook it for a while and then pour it on a tray or a shallow tray like thing, and then sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mix over it as a thin nice cover. Add some corse ground kanamadhu aswell.

Cool it for a while under the fan and then serve it chill. Enjoy your Pirini :)
