Sumping Waluh - Traditional Balinese dessert made from pumpkin


 

"Sumping Waluh" is a traditional Balinese dessert made from pumpkin (waluh), coconut milk, and rice flour. It's a delightful treat with a slightly sweet and creamy flavor. Here's a recipe for making Sumping Waluh:

Ingredients:

  • 500 grams pumpkin (waluh), peeled and cut into chunks
  • 200 ml thick coconut milk
  • 150 grams rice flour
  • 100 grams palm sugar (gula merah), grated or chopped
  • 1 pandan leaf (optional, for flavor)
  • A pinch of salt
  • Banana leaves or aluminum foil for wrapping

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin:

    • Peel the pumpkin and cut it into small chunks.
  2. Steam the Pumpkin:

    • Place the pumpkin chunks in a steamer basket and steam them until they are soft and fully cooked. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes.
  3. Mash the Pumpkin:

    • Once the pumpkin is cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl and mash it until smooth. You can use a potato masher or fork for this.
  4. Prepare the Coconut Mixture:

    • In a saucepan, combine the thick coconut milk, grated or chopped palm sugar, pandan leaf (if using), and a pinch of salt.
    • Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the palm sugar is fully dissolved. Let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove the pandan leaf if used.
  5. Mix Pumpkin and Rice Flour:

    • In the mashed pumpkin, gradually add the rice flour while mixing until well combined. The mixture should have a thick but spreadable consistency.
  6. Shape the Sumping Waluh:

    • Take a small amount of the pumpkin mixture and shape it into small cakes or patties.
  7. Wrap with Banana Leaves:

    • If using banana leaves, cut them into small rectangles.
    • Place each pumpkin cake or patty onto a piece of banana leaf and wrap it neatly, securing the edges with toothpicks or string. Alternatively, you can use aluminum foil for wrapping.
  8. Steam the Sumping Waluh:

    • Arrange the wrapped Sumping Waluh on a steamer basket and steam them for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  9. Serve:

    • Once cooked, remove the Sumping Waluh from the steamer.
    • Serve them warm, drizzled with additional palm sugar syrup if desired.
  10. Enjoy:

    • Sumping Waluh is best enjoyed warm as a delicious Balinese dessert.

Feel free to adjust the sweetness according to your preference. You can also add a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top before steaming for added texture and flavor.
