Balinese Black and Purple Rice

Balinese black and purple rice In Bali, as in most of the rest of Indonesia, rice is the primary crop and food. White rice is cooked fresh every day, but black rice (often purplish-black in color) is used for special offerings at the temple as well as for making fabulous sticky rice desserts sweetened with palm sugar and coconut milk, close cousins of Thai Sweet Black Rice Treat.
