Tupat Sutong: A Stuffed Squid in the coconut milk

Tupat Sutong is a  traditional Terengganu cuisine where the cleaned squid is cooked in the  thick coconut milk. The squid is stuffed with cooked gluten rice (pulut) and  later cooked in the coconut milk (mixed with onions, ginger and halba).

 Tupat Sutong is garnished with red chillies, fresh tomato and salad.

To make tupat sutong, you need to undergo three processes. One , you need to prepare the ingredients: the squids, coconut milk, onions, ginger, sugar, salt, gluton rice and halba. Two,  you need to cook the gluton rice and stuff it inside the squid. Third, you need to cook the stuffed squids  in the thick coconut milk with onions, grated ginger, salts and sugar (according to your taste) and  halba.

Once cook, you can serve as a side dish or serve with other food. Stuffed squid already had a carbohydrate (rice). I found the gravy that is special. Tupat Sutong is not available freely in the markets compare with other food or dessert. If you can not find in the market, you can make special order from the restaurants. Happy travelling.
