Putu Mayam

People in Penang traditionally call this dish Putu Mayam or Putu Mayang. This is a dish of Indian origins. Some small vendors cook the dish on the spot. They will cover a bamboo basket with a piece of white cloth, then stuff the raw materials mixed with sticky rice noodles and water to the mold in which rice is steamed. Squeeze the thin rice noodles with the bamboo basket, and place these noodles into a food steamer to steam. People usually eat this food by adding black sugar and sliced coconut, but some prefer to eat the food with curry.
