Puttu Mayam

Mum had a sudden urge for this Indian Puttu Mayam today. She thus bought a packet (10 pieces at $3) of these fluffy, thinly treaded rice flour vermicelli-laced pieces that was shaped to a pancake mold.

The sweet orangey-hue sugar has to be purchase separately. We used to buy these easily from neighbourhood hawker who will serve our fondly known 'Tu Mayam' with the orangey sugar and coconut shreds.

But being just kids then, we do not appreciate the coconut sheds at all. Only the grown-ups, like my father who still rave about how cheaply & fragrant these Tu Mayam used to be with the coconut sheds.

Oh what nostalgic...
