What do you think about when you have a supply of pumpkins? Maybe you immediately think of pumpkin soup. I am also like that. But then I looked for something else I could make with pumpkin.
After I succeeded in making Iced Pumpkin, you can read HERE, I also succeeded in making Pumpkin Porridge with Palm Sugar Sauce. So I want to share with you.
Menu Inspiration
Pumpkin Porridge with Palm Sugar Sauce is inspired by a typical Asian porridge, to be precise in Indonesia, Rice Flour Porridge. The ingredients are the same with the same basic ingredients.
What makes it different is that I add pumpkin juice that has been steamed before.
The presentation is also the same as rice flour porridge, using palm sugar sauce.
We can add thick coconut milk sauce or cream when serving.
Ingredients
- 500 ml of pumpkin juice, (steam pumpkin first, before making pumpkin juice)
- 150 grams of glutinous rice flour or you can use rice flour.
- 500 ml of coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- pandan leaf (optional)
Ingredients for serving
- Palm Sugar Sauce for Serving (Boil 200 grams of palm sugar with 500 ml of water)
You can use other sweeteners to complement this porridge. You can even replace the palm sugar sauce with hot chocolate. Get creative.
How to make
- Step 1
Mix pumpkin juice with all of the ingredients. Stir well until there are no lumps of flour.
- Step 2
After all the ingredients are well blended, then cook over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Step 3
We have to keep stirring the pureed dough so that it doesn't clump. Cook until the dough becomes solid and forms a pulp.
- Step 4
Remove and serve with palm sugar sauce.
About taste
Pumpkin porridge has a delicious savory taste due to the combination of coconut milk. And the sweet taste that comes from palm sugar.
The ground cinnamon scent seems to match pumpkin to add an authentic flavor.
It's worth trying as a new menu. This porridge can also be served as a cold dessert.
