Putu Mayam and Putu Piring - The Authentic Indian Food

Putu Mayam is a tasty and simple Indian food. There are not many Putu Mayam vendors around nowadays. I met friendly Putu Mayam vendor, Mr. Vincent Anthony in Chai Leng Park, Butterworth morning wet market recently. His stall is located in the connecting lane between Tingkat Kurau 4 and Medan Kurau 1. He has been in this business for 22 years. The putu mayam is made from rice flour and then put into a mould with fine holes at the bottom; press straight onto the steamer basket. Anthony sells the Putu Mayam for 60 cents a piece. It is eaten with grated coconut and brown sugar. He also sells Putu Piring which has almost the same ingredients as the Putu Mayam but is made into a form of a small cake using a plastic cup as a mould.
