Chek Ktis

Chek Ktis is a traditional Cambodian dessert made with sticky rice, coconut milk, and palm sugar.

Ingredients - Serves 6

Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Drain the soaked rice and transfer it to a steamer lined with a clean cloth or banana leaves.
Steam the rice over high heat for 30 minutes, or until it becomes soft and sticky.
In a saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat. Add the grated palm sugar and salt. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
Remove the steamed sticky rice from the steamer and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Pour the coconut milk mixture over the rice and gently mix until the rice is evenly coated.
Take a square piece of banana leaf and fold it into a cone shape. Fill the cone with the sticky rice mixture, leaving some space at the top for folding.
Fold the top of the banana leaf cone to seal the Chek Ktis.
Repeat the process with the remaining sticky rice mixture and banana leaves.
Steam the Chek Ktis over medium heat for 30 minutes.
Remove from the steamer and let it cool before serving. Enjoy!
