Bubur Gandum Gula Melaka (Wheat porridge with palm sugar) - Vegetarian

Early traces of Gandum (wheat, botany name Triticum spp.) cultivation were found in Turkey, Syria and Jordan. Today , wheat is the second most cultivated plant after corn. I cooked this sweet dessert during the weekend using Gula Melaka as the sweetener and it turns our real nice. Here is the recipe for Bubur Gandum Gula Melaka, tong sui (Wheat porridge with palm sugar).

Ingredients
Gandum (Wheat), 225gms
Santan (Coconut milk), from one coconut
Palm sugar, 2”x2”x3”, dilute in hot water and sieved
Water, 5 bowls
Pandan Leaves (Screw pine), 5 pcs
A dash of salt

Wash gandum and boil it in 5 bowls of water with pandan leaves until soft.
Add palm sugar and santan. Stir the mixture and bring to a boil. Add dash of salt. Your sweet dessert is ready! (You can add white sugar if the gandum is not sweet enough for you)
