Simplified Putu Mayam

Have you try Putu Mayam before? My mother would buy the putu mayam from the Indian stall for us when we were little kids. Putu mayam actually looks likes a web of rice vermicelli (bee hoon) top with freshly grated coconut and brown sugar (orange in colour). It tastes better with more coconut and sugar. I don’t have a putu mayam maker, so I simplified the process by using rice vermicelli. Check out this on how putu mayam is made- go to: http://www.foodmalaysia.net/recipe_collections/putu-mayam.
