Memahami Inti Resipi Tepung Talam

Before we delve into the specific recipes, let's understand the core components of a successful Tepung Talam. The recipe generally consists of two main parts:

• Adunan Atas (Top Layer): This layer is usually lighter in color and has a smoother, creamier texture. It's typically made with a combination of coconut milk, sugar, and sometimes pandan extract for aroma and coloring.

• Adunan Bawah (Bottom Layer): This layer provides the base and often has a slightly denser consistency. This layer typically uses a combination of rice flour, tapioca flour (tepung sagu), and coconut milk.

The success of your Tepung Talam hinges on the right balance of ingredients and the steaming process. We'll explore these aspects in detail in the recipes below.

• 150g gula pasir (granulated sugar)
• 50ml air (water)
• 1/2 sudu kecil garam (1/2 teaspoon salt)

2. Sediakan Adunan Bawah: Campurkan tepung beras dan tepung sagu. Masukkan santan cair secara berperingkat sambil dikacau untuk mengelakkan berketul. (Combine rice flour and tapioca flour. Gradually add the thin coconut milk while stirring to prevent lumps.)
3. Proses Memasak: Sapukan sedikit minyak pada acuan. Tuang adunan bawah ke dalam acuan yang telah disiapkan. Kukus selama 10 minit. (Grease a mould lightly with oil. Pour the bottom layer into the prepared mould. Steam for 10 minutes.)
4. Lapisan Atas: Setelah 10 minit, tuang adunan atas ke atas adunan bawah. Kukus lagi selama 15-20 minit atau sehingga masak. (After 10 minutes, pour the top layer over the bottom layer. Steam for another 15-20 minutes or until cooked.)
