Nasi Kunyit

• 2 1/8 cups glutinous rice
• 3 pieces tamarind dried, skin, asam gelugor
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 salt
• 500 coconut water milileters
• 1/2 teaspoon white peppercorns
• 2 pandan leaves knotted
• 100 coconut milk milileters thick
• salt to taste

1. Wash and soak rice in water (just enough to cover the rice) mixed with turmeric powder and salt for 4 to 5 hours.
2. Drain well then soak the rice in coconut water for another 1 to 2 hours. This gives the glutinous rice a more subtle taste.
3. Drain well the soaked rice then place in a steamer with peppercorns and pandan leaves and steam for 15 minutes.
4. Remove the steamer and add 1/3 of the thick coconut milk to the rice. Mix well then steam for 15 minutes. Fluff up the rice then add another 1/3 of thick coconut milk; steam for 15 minutes again. Remove from heat and fluff up rice.
