Banana and Mango are famuous fruit in Thailand. Black Sticky Rice Pudding with Banana and Mango is vegetarian dessert in Thailand. This menu is vegetarian foods, non-fat and easy to cooking. You can use Kin-Jay festival.

Ingredients

- 2 cups Black Sticky Rice, grain
- 4 cups Water
- 3-4 Bananas, medium to large
- 12 Dates, pitted
- 1 Mango

Preparation

Begin by placing 4 cups of cold tap or filtered water in a pot and place on the stove top to boil. When the water begins to boil, add the black sticky rice, cover and reduce the heat to simmer. When all the water is absorbed, turn off the heat.

While the black sticky rice is cooking, peel the bananas, break into pieces, and place in the container of a high speed blender. Add the dates, then cover and run the blender at high speed until contents are creamy smooth.

Wash and cut the mango into wedges; remove the peel. Save some of the nicer looking pieces of mango to use as decoration on the top of the pudding. Cut the remainder of the mango, including the part around the pit, into small pieces.

When the rice is cooked, remove from the stove top, and add the banana-date mixture and the small mango pieces. Mix well and pour the contents into a covered baking dish. Level the pudding and decorate the top with the larger mango pieces.

Place the covered baking dish in either a conventional oven at 350 degrees F. or in a microwave oven until the pudding becomes slightly firm with no liquid on top. In our microwave oven at 1000 watts on the high setting, it took only 10 minutes.

Serve either hot or cold and Enjoy! Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator, in the covered dish, for several days.

Makes for 8-12 servings
