Isaah, my Teitei used to bake this ,so nice and easy, few natural ingredients that produce an awesome purini. I remember we enjoyed that during Christmas at her place and have red tea,or black tea as they call it here. Sweet old memories, which I hope never fades. Vinkavakalevu lewa Romi ⚘
I think that’s my favorite part of cooking classic Fijian food! The simple yet delicious ingredients and the lovely memories attached with them! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hi there! I attempted the purini recipe.i first made it with regular flour which turned out absolutely wonderful! And it was a hit! My second attempt was with whole wheat flour which turned out to be another hit as well. A quick note:coconut cream works perfectly. Coconut milk makes purini sticky,like fudge. Loved your recipe,your measurements are on par
I cannot wait to try this. I remember eating this whenever we went to Fiji, one of my favourite bites. Thank you for sharing. Hope mine turns out just as yummy :)
Omg..where were you for the last 20 years...I have been looking for this recipe forever....I miss Fiji and Fiji food... all the desserts and recipes.... hello from California please keep in touch
One of my favourites from u romi 😍 they look super moist nd soft...this is defn added to my to do recipes list 👍 tq for sharing this...nd romiiiiiiii u r abt to reach 500 subscribers wohooooooooo 💃💃💃lets celebrate 👭 😙😙😙😙
Sunitha! You must try this recipe! You’ll love it! It’s something I ate a lot when I was a kid. And yes! 500! Seems so small compared to where you are hehe but you have no idea how happy I am! I’m planning special video to celebrate 💕
This look’s so delicious and authentic/traditional......Most people use evaporated milk!!! Got to have the “popo” or it wouldn’t by polynesian/south pacific : )
Hi, I made a puligi out of your ingredients and you use less ingredients in your puligi then wat I used in my mine. I used 8 ingredients in my puligi including 1cup water. I didn’t boil my puligi that I used ur recipe but I baked it. Haven’t taste it but I’ll let u know. Thatnks!
Let me know how it turns out! I’ve never baked it so I’m excited to see the results. You can tag me on Facebook or Instagram with your photo if you’d like. Thanks love!
Hi how else can I cook the pudding please is there any other way I can cook it if I dont have a pot like yours please and do u know if I could use just self raising flour and not do the baking soda please let me know what works best thank u for sharing x
You thought correctly, dear. The difference in temperature causes the sugar to harden and warming up the coconut milk would definitely help. Thanks for sharing that tip!
Hi Nina! Because of the brown sugar in the recipe, the baking soda is enough for the rise needed in this. If you wanted more of a rise, you could add both, but I haven't experimented with adding both or just baking powder. I hope this answers your question :)
You can try with a water bath but the results may not be the same. I’ve only made it in a steamer. I suggest using hot water in a pan under the cake (water bath) and also a pan of hot water separately for optimal steam. Maybe try with a smaller size first? Half the recipe?
Simply Blissful Living Thank you so much for replying, if I try I will let you know how it works out. I think I’ll just borrow my mom’s Instapot for now to learn the recipe before I make changes.😃
You can steam it in a regular pot too! Don’t need an instant pot! If you don’t have a “steamer” you can use just a big pot with a small bowl at the bottom to rest your pan.
Tameka, thank you! Its an island dish in the South Pacific. Tonga, Samoa, and Fiji, of course, all have their own versions of it! :) So good! Hope you give it a try one day :)
"You want some really good butter".....REWA BUTTER !!!! .😂😂😁👍. Vinaka from Australia.
Faar doh koro mate ! lol
Definitely anything Rewa!
Purini is nice with custard...looks awesome
Looks delicious! So simple, yet, so yummy! 😍🤗
Same ingredients and cooking method as a Samoan Puligi. Though, i like mine with custard.
It is one of my favorite things to eat. I like it with custard too, but with good quality butter is my favorite way to eat it!

Pete, you have no idea! I used my favorite Kerry Gold Salted butter! You must have it with good butter and a cup of tea. So delicious!
I made it this morning, and it's delicious... Thank you for the recipe.
So happy to hear that! I’m making a batch today for Christmas too! 🎁

Thank you!
Instead of coconut milk anything else can be use . Plz reply .
Hi! Sorry the only milk I’ve tried it with is coconut milk and don’t know of a suitable substitute.
Hi, I made a puligi out of your ingredients and you use less ingredients in your puligi then wat I used in my mine. I used 8 ingredients in my puligi including 1cup water. I didn’t boil my puligi that I used ur recipe but I baked it. Haven’t taste it but I’ll let u know. Thatnks!

very easy and delicious.
Thank you Ritesh!
I added the butter into the mixture of sugar and coconut.. Hopefully it will turn out ok... Thank You
Hi how else can I cook the pudding please is there any other way I can cook it if I dont have a pot like yours please and do u know if I could use just self raising flour and not do the baking soda please let me know what works best thank u for sharing x
Hi! You can steam it in a regular steamer on stovetop too. And yes, you can omit baking soda and use self-rising flour instead.
Omg my favorite
Mine too 🥁
Would you not heat up the coconut milk first
You could warm it up if you wanted to avoid the clumps to begin with. They do melt rather easily though.
@@SBLtasteoffiji ok. I just thought because when you add the coconut cream/milk to the sugar it hardens it cause of the tampurature
You thought correctly, dear. The difference in temperature causes the sugar to harden and warming up the coconut milk would definitely help. Thanks for sharing that tip!
*temperature
I'm a bit curious about why you only added bakingsoda without b/powder?
Hi Nina! Because of the brown sugar in the recipe, the baking soda is enough for the rise needed in this. If you wanted more of a rise, you could add both, but I haven't experimented with adding both or just baking powder. I hope this answers your question :)
Wow yummy 😘
Thank you Sadhana!
Wow Fijian puligi look soo yummy nd delicious. We love our Is food. Thanks for sharing ur recipe. GB lol
Thank you! I hope you give it a try! Its super delicious!
Is it possible to make it in a steam bath in the oven?
You can try with a water bath but the results may not be the same. I’ve only made it in a steamer. I suggest using hot water in a pan under the cake (water bath) and also a pan of hot water separately for optimal steam. Maybe try with a smaller size first? Half the recipe?

Im also a pastry chef but my whole life i never sow sugar melting like that
It’s just like making caramel but letting it go a little further - almost burnt.
Delicious 🍲
