About this dish

Pinjaram, also known as penjaram, penyaram, sinisiung, kuih amik, kuih UFO, kuih telinga tikus, penganan iri or kuih cucur jawa is a traditional kuih for the Bajau/Iranun, Bruneian Malay people in Brunei and those in the West Coast Division together with the Kadazan-Dusun of Sabah, as well as for the Melanau in the Mukah Division and Iban in the Sri Aman Division of Sarawak and northern Malay people in Kedah of Malaysia. Pinjaram is made of rice flour, corn flour, coconut milk, sugar, and cooking oil, with some creators use pandan-flavoured sugar instead of the normal sugar to produce a more tantalising aroma. In Sabah, there is three flavours and colours of pinjaram: the original-flavoured (yellow), pandan-flavoured (green) and brown sugar-flavoured (dark brown). A chocolate variant of pinjaram is also available.
