I was on my way home and happened to drive by a small store selling Pichi-pichi at Php6 per piece. This caught my attention so I decided to experiment. Yesterday was market day so I asked my mom and Yaya Sai to get kamoteng kahoy (cassava), lihiya (lye) and coconut so I could test the recipe I googled.
Here is the recipe I tried:
Ingredients:
- 1 – 1/2 cups grated cassava
- food coloring (optional)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 bundle of pandan leaves, boiled in 2 cups water until reduced to one cup, and cooled ( or canned pandan concentrate, or a few drops of pandan essence in a cup of warm water)
- 1/2 tsp lye water* “lihiya”
- grated coconut for topping
Directions:
- Mix the sugar and the pandan flavored water and mix until sugar is dissolved. mix in the cassava and then add the lye water drop by drop mixing well as you do so.
- Pour into a mold or bowl that fits your bamboo steamer. steam until the mixture becomes translucent.
- While still hot scoop out the cooked mixture (use ice cream scoop or a tablespoon the same size as the scoop) and roll into grated coconut.
