Ponmagyi is a traditional Myanmar candy that is made from sticky rice flour, coconut cream, and sugar. The mixture is then wrapped in banana leaves and steamed until it becomes a soft and chewy candy.
To make ponmagyi, the sticky rice flour is mixed with water to make a dough, which is then rolled into small balls. Coconut cream and sugar are then heated in a pan until they become thick and creamy, before the rice balls are added to the mixture. The rice balls absorb the coconut cream and sugar and become soft and sweet.
Once the mixture is ready, it is scooped onto banana leaves and wrapped up tightly. The wrapped candy is then placed in a steamer and cooked until it becomes soft and chewy. Once cooked, the ponmagyi is unwrapped from the banana leaves and cut into small bite-size pieces.
Ponmagyi is often enjoyed as a dessert or snack in Myanmar and is a popular gift during festivals and special occasions. It is loved by people of all ages for its sweet and chewy texture, and the fact that it is made with simple, natural ingredients.
