Along with bananas, one of the most commonly eaten fruits in the world is mango. Tell me anyone who hates mango. It is such a divine fruit. No wonder they are called the "food of the Gods". The mango is also known as the "apple of the tropics". The aroma and the taste of this delectable fruit is unimaginable. They are excellent, soft, juicy and with a delicious, aromatic flavour. Mangoes are rich in vitamins A, C and D.
Mangoes are eaten raw or ripe. Raw green mangoes are pickled or made into salads, chutneys, rojak or just eaten with salt. Ripe mangoes exceedingly juicy and exotically sweet and tart. They are blended into juice, whipped up with yoghurt into luscious lassi. Ripe manoes are made into numerous scrumptious desserts or eaten just as a fruit.
As an entry to "Jihvā For Ingredients - Mango " event hosted by Indra of Mahanandi, I have thought of making a special dessert. It is a fusion of a Thai and a Malay dessert. Steamed glutinous rice topped with mango custard layer.
Kuih Seri Mangga (Mango & Glutinous Rice Dessert)
What do we need:
1/2 cup glutinous rice
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 tsp salt
2 screw pine leaves or 1 drop of screw pine essence
1 ripe mango
1 egg
4 tbsp plain flour
3-4 tbsp sugar (adjust with the sweetness of the mango)
1/4 tsp salt
1 drop mango essence
How do we do it:
Wash and soak the glutinous rice for about 4 hours. Drain the water and mix the rice with the coconut milk, salt and the leaves or essence in a pan. Steam for 15 minutes.
Peel and cut the mango. In a blender, combine mango, egg, flour, sugar, salt and essence. Process until the mixture becomes smooth.
Scratch cooked rice with a fork. Pour the mango batter on top of the rice. Steam it again for another 15 minutes.
Cool completely before cutting into desired shapes.

1st time seeing this kuih with mango taste, normally this kuih comes with screw pine leaves pudding on top. Yehhhhh….. I loves mango, last week I bought a lot of honey mangoes from night market….. taste superb…..
Well this is good try
Glutinious rice suits for this kind of dessert, I guess. The combination looks divine.
Thanks Puspha for participating in JFI-Mango Event.
the mango fresh looks so yellowish, must be very sweet and ripe.
Very interesting recipe Pushapa, looks so good
Oh my this looks very tempting ! Interesting take on rice pudding.
Looks very yummy pushpa and different one too...
This a very interesting recipe Pushpa, I was thinking of making a rice -mango pudding, but using the mango as an icing is a wonderful idea! Way to go!
Your weekend baking session effort looks droolworthy too!

Screw pines leave is an aromatic leave used is almost all of the Southeast Asian desserts & also in some cooking. The leave is long, flat & pointed at the end. Grows in bushes. For more info check out here.
Mike: U must b talking bout the Thai dessert. This kuih that I've made is a fusion between the Thai pulut & mango dessert & kuih seri muka. So, I'm thinking of naming it Kuih Seri Mangga. Ok or not? ;)
Rosa: No problem. Itz my pleasure :)
