🧂 Ingredienti
- 2 cups Jasmine rice(soaked overnight or for at least 4 hours)
- 400 ml Coconut milk(full-fat, slightly warmed)
- 0.5 tbsp Dry active yeast
- 1 tsp Sugar(for blooming yeast)
- 0.25 cup Lukewarm water(for blooming yeast)
- 0.66 cup Sugar(or to taste)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 5 pods Cardamom(seeds ground, or 1/4 tsp ground cardamom)
- 0.25 tsp Nutmeg(freshly grated (optional))
- Cooking oil(for frying)
👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Drain the soaked rice thoroughly. In a blender, combine the drained rice, 400 ml of warmed coconut milk, 2/3 cup sugar, ground cardamom, and salt. Blend until a smooth batter forms.
- 2
In a small bowl, combine the dry active yeast, 1 tsp sugar, and 1/4 cup lukewarm water. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
- 3
Add the bloomed yeast mixture to the rice batter in the blender and blend briefly to combine. Pour the batter into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (leaving a small vent), and let it rest at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until bubbles form and the batter has risen slightly.
- 4
Lightly grease the compartments of a vitumbua pan (or a mini muffin/aebleskiver pan) with cooking oil. Heat the pan over medium-low heat.
- 5
Pour the batter into each compartment, filling them about two-thirds full. Cook for about 3 minutes on medium-low heat until the edges start to firm up. Carefully flip each vitumbua using a skewer or small spatula. Cook for another 3 minutes, flipping back and forth, until golden brown and cooked through. Add more oil around the edges if needed for crisping.

Remove the vitumbua from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm.
