Putu Mayang Donut with Palm Sugar Syrup

It’s October already! the weather outside still very hot, I think it should be in the rainy season already isn't it? 😕

This October i want to challenge myself to learn lots of Indonesian food, I rarely cook Indonesian food because my mom always cooks it, well not always actually, often, she loves to cook Chinese food more and if we go out for dinner my dad always asks to have dinner at cafe Betawi.😂

I’m gonna call it the #Indoctober challenge. Let's do it in a  fun way to discover Indonesian food and dessert since traditional food is slowly being forgotten.



So here's my first try its Putu Mayang, Putu Mayang is one of Batavian traditional dessert from Indonesia. This dessert made from rice flour and tapioca flour combined then served with palm sugar syrup. I made it into donut shapes just for fun originally it doesn't have any holes.
