Kueh tutu is a small steamed cake made of finely pounded rice flour, typically with ground peanuts or grated coconut filling.

The methods of making kueh tutu and its ingredients are similar to those of putu piring, a popular Malay snack which is said to have origins in South Indian’s putu mayam. Hence the existence of claims that kueh tutu could have been of South Indian origins, and that the term tutu comes from the word putu. Putu piring, which uses gula melaka (palm sugar) as filling and is served with fresh grated coconut.

Many also associate kueh tutu to be of Singaporean origin. This rice snack is said to have been created in Singapore in the 1930s by Mr Tan Eng Huat, who hailed from Fujian, China. Mr Tan was said to have been inspired by the Chinese rice cake known as sung kueh in Hokkien. He came up with the idea of making smaller rice cakes, and added fillings such as coconut shreds and pounded peanuts, to the delight of customers.

Each piece of kueh tutu was served on a pandan leaf, to add fragrance.
