Kaya is a classic Malaysian breakfast spread made by slowly cooking eggs, coconut milk, and sugar with pandan leaves in a double boiler. It is usually spread on slices of toasted bread.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the Mixture

10 min

Whisk the eggs, coconut milk, and granulated sugar in a bowl until smooth. Add the knotted pandan leaves.

2

Cook in a Double Boiler

40 min

Set the bowl over simmering water. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, for 40 minutes, until creamy. Keep the heat low so it does not curdle.

3

Strain and Cool

5 min

Remove the pandan leaves, strain the spread through a fine-mesh strainer, transfer it to a jar, and let cool.

Reminder

Transfer the spread to sterilized jars and store it in the refrigerator, where it keeps for about 2 weeks. Allergens: Contains egg.

Benmari usulünde 40 dakika boyunca sürekli karıştırmak elimi çok yordu, bunu blenderla ya da mikserle daha rahat karıştırabilir miyim, yoksa yumurta pıhtılaşır mı diye endişeleniyorum?
