putu mayong.
Putu piring also known simply as
puttu in southern India, and is even available in the Philippines, where it is known as

gula melaka or palm sugar which gives it visible dark patches in the middle. When sold by Indian hawkers, the putu piring is provided with some grated coconut and coarse sugar.
