Personally, I'm not a fan of Pulut Hitam, but I know a lot of people who name this as one of their favourite local desserts. Made with black glutinous rice, which has a very distinct nutty flavour and served with a swirl of coconut milk, Pulut Hitam one of the most classic local desserts out there.

Bubur ketan hitam, bubur pulut hitam or bubur injun is an Indonesian sweet dessert made from black glutinous rice porridge with coconut milk and palm sugar or cane sugar. The black glutinous rice are boiled until soft, and sugar and coconut milk are added. It is often described as "black glutinous rice pudding" and is very similar to black rice tong sui made from black rice.

It is often served as dessert or snack, for supper, for tea time, anytime of the day; however, it is a popular choice for breakfast for those who prefer sweet treat instead of its savory counterpart bubur ayam.
