Ketupat rice.

[divegirl]

Afternoon all,
Has anyone ever had a go at making this Malaysian dish [or even heard of it lol].
I had it whilst in Malaysia and only found out the name of it this morning after chatting to a Malay guy I work with.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend what easily available rice I could use.The recipe I have says to use beras pulut rice....what even is that? Is jasmine rice easy to get...bit of a rice novice here!

Thanks, thing is, I know how to make them...the basket weaving bit should be fun [I even have a cheat for that]....was more interested in what rice to use though.
Where I live there aren't any indian supermarkets or the like...just bog standard Morrisons lol

Open a tin of rice pudding, Lisa.

the one I posted says jasmine rice is fine, graham's recipe points out beras just means raw rice - I'd guess at pulut being somewhere around pullau

[dickythecook]

Jasmine rice in morries, asda ,tesco etc

The first link mentions Thai fragrant or basmati...even Morrisons will do those ;-)

Oooo thank you Mo jo jo...

Tony! Really! Here I am trying to be all cultural and that and you suggest Ambrosias best... no class some people!

Looks like Jasmine rice it is then! I can't wait to try to make it... it's a lovely side dish to have with satay with lashings[lol] of peanut sauce, or gravy as the Malay call it!

Many thanks all
