So you are asking: “What are the recipes for kutsinta? Is it easy to cook kutsinta?”
Well, it is not hard cooking kutsinta (or kuchinta or cuchinta, whatever you spell it), you just need to have a little patience.
First things first. Below you will find ingredients of Kutsinta for four (4) servings:
- flour – 1 cup
- brown sugar – 2 cups
- water – 3 cups
- lye water (potassium carbonate solution sold in Asian food stores) – 1 teaspoon
- Freshly grated coconut (budbod na niyog)
Read the rest of this entry for the directions and short video ….
Cooking Notes
You will not need food color (annatto powder) if you use brown sugar. Make sure that you are already boiling water from the steamer to save time. You are going to need a strainer to remove excess lumps.
Cooking Directions
Get a mixing bowl and combine all the ingredients (except the grated coconut) and mix well. Make sure that the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Pour into molds (hulmahan), half-full. Steam in a large pan with a cover; the water should be 2 inches deep. Cook for 40-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Add more water if needed until cooking is done.
Remove from the muffin pans and serve with freshly grated coconut.

i hthink i love it
iwill try this
thanks
its very good..thank you. it looks really easy to make but i dont know where to get lihia from…would i find it just in the normal supermarket or do i have to get it from the asian supermarket??
Hi Kelly, thanks for dropping by.
I believe you can only find lihia from Asian Supermarket, but look first in Filipino stores. Once you get a hold of a bottle, try to contact the manufacturer because sometimes, lihia can be very hard to come by. Stock up for the rainy days if you cook kutsinta as a business.
sugar is not included in dry ingredients…you should combine it first to the water so it will melt thoroughly..
thanks for the instructions.. This saved my life with my cooking projects..
i will try to cook this,, kasi walang masyadong halo,, tnx guys
is it possible kahit walang lye water?
tenks, i will try to cook this.
hi! i read from other website that lye water is a poison.wat did u say on this
I THINK 2 CUPS OF SUGAR IS TOO MUCH.. MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHANGE IT TO 2 CUPS OF FLOUR & 1 CUP OF SUGAR..
I TRY YOUR INGREDIENTS BUT IT NOT WORK.
