HTA MA NE Pwe or Glutinous Rice
Festival
Hta Ma Ne is made
from a recipe that includes glutinous rice, coconut slices, sesame seeds, peanuts with a generous amount of cooking oil, an
ingredient most Burmese feel has to be in generous amounts. It is a traditional festival held in February and is held
to give thanks for a good harvest in the months just gone by.
It is a communal festival where family and friends get
together to make this glutinous rice dish. It is normally cooked in Cast Iron large Woks using huge ladles, the
size of oars, to mix the ingredients while cooking. As we aware that when glutinous rice is involved the cooking
could get sticky. Two to three muscular men are required to do the mixing.
Preparing this dish also needs
the help of the fairer sex when it comes to preparing the ingredients as every ingredient has to be prepared "Impurity
Free".
Although, many miles from Burma, Hta Ma Ne is a dish that turns up quite often at Food Fetes or functions
where Burmese Expatriates meet. This goes to prove that Hta Ma Ne is a tasty and delicious Burmese dish.
