Glutinous rice (pulut) is steamed in coconut milk. The rice is then dyed blue with bunga telang (Clitoria ternatea). It is usually served with kaya as a dipping.[1]
It is different from, and often confused with nasi kerabu, which originated from Kelantan. Both pulut tekan and nasi kerabu are dyed blue with the same bunga telang flower.
