Ever since I came back from California, I’ve been craving for the Glutinous Rice with Mango dessert that I ate at the Thai restaurant. This Thai dessert comprises of a basic ‘pulut’ recipe mixed with coconut milk accompanied by fresh mangoes. It was really delish with the rice cooked to perfection and mixed with the sweet coconut milk. It had a yummy subtle but rich flavour. The sweetness of the rice paired with the sweet-sour mango made the dessert an all time hit with my family. I suppose it has been at the back of my mind for sometime now and when I saw those ripe juicy mangoes, I just couldn’t help myself. I had to make this dessert for iftar (break fast).
