My mom n hubby hand in hand complain that I don't do the things they like to eat, especially nine layer kueh.
Decide to do today, recipe called for 9 inch but my steamer only accomodate 8 inch tin, decide to go ahead, planning to have some wastage, luckily no wastage but the layers are high.
Did not regret doing, it's a wonderful recipe.
Extract from With love, from the LITTLE NYONYA by Baba Philip Chia
600g fine sugar
1 litre coconut milk
1 litre Water
1 tsp fine sea-salt
Few pieces of pandan leave
350g rice flour
350g tapioca flour
Mix sugar, coconut milk, water, salt, pandan leaves and bring to boil at low heat till sugar dissolved. Discard pandan leaves, turn off flame and allow to cool slightly
In a large mixing bowl, mix the rice flour and tapioca flour. Then add the covonut milk mixture, whisk slightly till well blended.
Divide batter into 9 portions (I divide into 3). Ready to steam layer by layer, by adding in desired colour into each layer such as white, green, yellow, pink, blue and the final top layer is red.
