Black Sticky Rice Pudding (Bubur Pulut Hitam)

The traditional recipe has only four basic ingredients: black sticky rice, coconut milk, pandan leaves (optional) and coconut sugar. But the best news is that black rice is an absolute health bomb! Compared with other rices, it has the highest amounts of antioxidants (mostly anthocyanins), fiber, minerals and iron.
