Kutsinta is very famous in the Philippines and it seems that majority of the Filipinos knows how to cook this food. It is made of rice flour, sugar, water and lye water, it is usually served with freshly grated coconut. Last Eid, my sister Jong decided to make Kutsinta since she saw the lye water that I bought from the Filipino supermarket few days ago. We don’t have fresh coconut so she used desiccated coconut as a topping combined with the sweetened roasted coconut (also made from desiccated).
When she was almost done, she decided to add some chocolate powder to the remaining mixture, she wanted to try how will Chocolate Kutsinta taste like, LOL! The result was satisfying, we had a traditional and chocolate Kutsinta for Eid!
