Last time I made this kuih, I made the starter dough right from scratch..I guessed the "ragi' used was not a good one and also maybe I over fermented it for a bit long, that made the taste a bit sourish..this time its perfect!!..No sourish taste the sweetness was just nice!!..So if you can get the ready made tapai pulut/nasi you can skip the first step of making starter dough...For my Malay friends, the taste of this kuih is somehow like apam and somehow spongy like kek gula hangus ..Sedappp!!
Starter Dough:-
100g cooked rice(overnight and leave to cool)
1/2 tbsp Ragi(wine-chew piah)-can buy from Malay market
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tbsp water
Method:-
Mix all the above ingredients together and leave it to ferment for 2 days(48hrs). Keep in a container, covered and best to keep in a cupboard to let it ferment. After 48hrs, weigh out 60g and balance keep in the fridge.
Kuih Starter Dough:-AYU STARTED THE PROCESS FROM HERE
60g of the fermented starter dough-(Ayu used ready made fermented rice)
100g rice flour
some plain water
Method:-
MIx the starter dough and rice flour and if you find it too dry, add in some plain water. put into a container, covered and let it ferment again for about 16-18 hours. Weigh out only 80g of this kuih starter dough.
