Mix the rice flour, tapioca starch, and brown sugar.
Add the water gradually and whisk into a smooth, fluid batter.
Add the alkaline water to the batter and mix for 2 minutes.
Lightly grease the small molds with vegetable oil.
Divide the batter among the molds, filling each about two-thirds full.
Steam the kutsinta for 22 to 24 minutes, until the surface becomes springy.
Remove from the molds and serve with desiccated coconut.
💡 Tip: Measure the alkaline water carefully; too much makes kutsinta taste bitter and darkens the color more than needed.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve kutsinta at room temperature with desiccated coconut and optional coffee.
