Gandum is a wheat pearl porridge. Usually for tea time, we love to have cakes or sweet dessert after some light tea.
In Malaysia where I lived, tea time snacks are a must have.
One of the most popular snack is our Gandum or wheat pearl sweet porridge. Wheat pearl is a kind of barley when cooked with coconut cream and brown sugar is an excellent dessert. The rounded flavor comes form adding pandan leaves. The flavor of fragrant coconut palm sugar complements the gandum so well that you can be addicted to it.
You may have tried some gandum with some additional bite of sago, tapioca or sweet potatoes. Mostly we love adding it for texture and bite. Try making it.
