The Coconut Milk🥥as a key ingredient in making my own version of puto
I commonly used coconut milk (Kakang gata)in our dialect in Cebuano, in making a plain rice based puto the coconut milk serves as a flavor enhancer-- it balanced the sweet taste and the aroma of the rice flour.
Here's how to do the (Puto with Coconut Milk)
- Add 1 cup of coconut milk, ½ cup sugar,sliced ginger and 1 tbsp of salt in a pan.Place it in a pan and mix thoroughly by constantly stirring it.
- Stir until smooth; Pour in the glutinous rice.
- Stir for 15–20 minutes until the glutinous rice cooked and the aroma of the coconut milk comes out.Steamed it after cooking the glutinous rice.
4.You can wrapped it using the banana leaf --to make your puto more flavorful..If it's done served it while it's hot,you can add sidings like mango or hot choco.
The coconut milk transformed my puto from a simple Glutinous Rice into a delicious, fragrant, and a comforting food -- that treats my family so well.They find my cooked puto as a delicious,yummy and tasty one☺️

I used to apply coconut oil in my hair--I find it beneficial to use it.Like,after having my pregnancy,I experienced lots of falling hairs, frizzy hair and lots of dandruff..
Maybe because of my hormones changed at the moment, my hormonal level increases.So I find it grateful that I discover this natural remedy.What I did was to gently massaged my scalp with coconut milk,leaving it for 5-10minutes ang finally rinse it--leaving the feeling of being fresh, no dryness of hair anymore.
Here are the steps on how I apply coconut milk in my dry and frizzy hair..First is extract the milk from its coconut..I just do it manually in extracting the coconut milk.
Look at my frizzy hair..It really need to be hot oiled..I felt my hair is very dry.
So early in the morning before going to work, I applied the coconut Milk which I was extracted..I gently massaged it and I just do it by myself.What a nice feeling it was when hair is being taken cared of.
And look,after how many minutes, I rinsed it with water..I feel the smoothness of my hair and I feel good.,.
