Pichi, also known as Pichi-pichi or Dumplings Plant, refers to a culinary dish rather than a specific plant. Pichi is a traditional Filipino dessert made from grated cassava (a starchy root vegetable), sugar, and water. The mixture is combined, steamed, and then coated with grated coconut before serving.

To make Pichi, the cassava is peeled, grated, and squeezed to remove excess liquid. Sugar and water are added to the grated cassava, creating a sticky batter. The mixture is then steamed until it sets and becomes firm. Once cooked, the Pichi is rolled in grated coconut to enhance its texture and add a subtle flavor.

Pichi is a popular sweet treat in the Philippines, often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. It has a chewy and jelly-like texture with a slightly sweet taste. The combination of the soft cassava and the grated coconut coating creates a pleasant contrast in textures.
