What is Palitaw Traditional Palitaw is made from glutinous rice grains which are soaked in water overnight and then processed into a soft dough via grinding. The dough is formed into thin patties, cooked in boiling water, and then coated with grated coconut, toasted sesame seeds, and sugar. Palitaw is a term used to call a sweet flat rice cake that is eaten in the Philippines as a snack or dessert. Originally, grounded or pounded sticky rice is used to make this rice cake (called kakanin in the local language) - however, the practice of using packaged rice flour became common because it is more efficient.
Palitaw is one of the most popular of current trending meals on earth. It’s easy, it is fast, it tastes yummy. It’s enjoyed by millions every day. They are nice and they look wonderful. Palitaw is something that I’ve loved my entire life.

Palitaw is actually glutinous rice flour and water mixed into a dough, rolled into balls, boiled until they're soft and kind of chewy, and rolled in coconut and sugar. And if you're having a party, you decorate them with colored sugar or food coloring and put 'em on a stick, because food on a stick = party.

- Put them in a pot with boiling water. Once it floats, remove it from the water and then cover it with the grated coconut. Reserve some grated coconut for the topping.
- For it's topping, grind the toasted peanut in mortar and pestle. If you have peanuts with skin it is easy to peel the skin after toasting. No need to grind if you are using sesame seeds.
