Home Made Kaya (Coconut Jam)

We got the recipe online (I would really like to give credits to this person, but unfortunately I don't know who and where to find it because I didn't keep the URL and I wasn't the one who found it).

Nevertheless, here we go:

So we mixed coconut milk (santan), eggs, and sugar and heated it up slowly, constantly stirring like this for almost 2 hours. I was very patient, I managed to stir it for about more than half an hour, and then I gave up and ended up chatting online. Haha.

We added in a WHOLE LOT of pandan leaves + water for the green colour. See, we're so crazy about wanting it to be VERY green, so we added a lot of leaves, a LOT of them.


We tasted those kaya at the sides of the bowl, and it was awesome. We were so fascinated, haha we made everyone in the house taste a bit of it.
After an hour, the mixture was still too smooth and it wasn't going anywhere, so we figured it must be that microwavable bowl. So we poured everything out onto the tray and cook it there instead. When it turned lumpy, we jumped with joy.
So it turned out, VERY green, and VERY lumpy. This was where the blender came into use.

Ta-da:
Result: A very tasty pandan-flavoured kaya.

We bought a loaf of bread just to toast and go with the kaya, even after we had such a filling pan mee meal (we made it on the same evening and started after our dinner). We managed to finish up 400mL of kaya that night itself.


We are that deprived of good food and cooking.
