Muasi or Palitaw

My childhood memories about muasi or palitaw are not that good. I consider it as one of my hated native delicacies given itsbland taste even with the sugar dip. 

But as time passed, I learned to appreciate it especially when its freshly cooked with the muscovado teeming the aroma of roasted sesame seeds.

So let's make some Palitaw!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups glutinous rice flour
• 1/2 cup muscovado sugar
• 3 tbsp sesame seeds roasted
• 1 cup water for dough
• Water for boiling

How to cook Palitaw

1. Boil water in a pot.
2. Mix rice flour and water in a bowl.
3. Blend well to form a dough. 
4. Form the palitaw by flattening balls of dough.
5. Drop the palitaw in the pot of boiling water.
6. When the dough floats, remove and arrange in a plate.
7. Serve with muscovado sugar and sesame seed mixture. 

The measurements are just guides in this recipe. You can make tweaks along the way according to ingredients availability and taste preference. 

You can also serve palitaw with grated mature coconut. Enjoy!
