Rampe

Pandanus leaves or Rampe belongs to Pandanaceae (screw pine family). They are a popular flavouring in tropical Asia, from South India to New Guinea. They are used for rather different purposes, but mostly in connection with rice, since rice can profit most from the hey-like odour of pandanus leaves. All over South East Asia, pandanus leaves find their most important culinary application in sweets; used in making sweet puddings or custards based on sticky (glutinous) rice. In the maldives it is used for flavouring, in rice, curries and sweets.They are often used along with curry leaves while cooking various curries.It’s widely grown in the resort’s spice garden.. For making Bondibaiy (Rice Pudding), glutinous rice is boiled with water, palm sugar and pandanus leaves to yield a heavy mass that becomes semi-solid on cooling. Before serving, thick coconut milk is sprinkled over it.
