A must have for Hari Raya, this is my mum specialty. Her kueh ciputan or what others called kueh buah rotan is nice and crispy. Recipe is very simple and hardly can go wrong. Only thing troublesome is forming the gooey dough into small balls as it will stick to your palm and drip between the fingers haha. Still a favorite in my family and I am going to keep the tradition alive.
