Pulut Panggang

My daughter loves to eat pulut panggang.Whenever we passed by hawkers stalls,she'll ask me to buy.
I try to make my own pulut panggang because I've the recipe from the book by Agnes Chan.Making pulut panggang need to use the banana leaves and I've no problem with that since my next door neighbor grew bananas and the banana trees was planted right in front of our house.She told me to get some if I ever needed it.Thanks to her that now I can make my own pulut panggang.
Pulut panggang requires glutinous rice.
Pulut is the glutinous rice and panggang means grilled,hence the name "pulut panggang" (grilled glutinous rice.It is wrapped in banana leaves and then left to grill(panggang)You can either have a choice of leaving it plain or with fillings.Both are very fragrant and I like both.
