Method :
Pound petals until a fine paste. Stir 1 tablespoon water into the paste and squeeze paste through a fine sieve to extract a purple liquid. Discard solids.
Place rice in a rice cooker; add water, coconut milk, salt, sugar and pandan leaves. Cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed. If cooking on a stovetop, turn fire to lowest setting.
Drizzle pea flower extract into the rice. Cover and leave undisturbed for 20 minutes. Fluff up rice with a fork and serve hot.
Tips : The purple pea flower, otherwise known as bunga telang or Clitoria is a creeper that grows easily on a garden farm.
