Today is another Kueh making session for me... but I only make one instead of 3 like last week. This kueh that I made today is called the Pulot Hitam Kaya, the bottom layer is made with a combination of Pulot Hitam(Black Glutinous Rice) and White Glutinous Rice.
In this recipe I try to cut down the amount of coconut milk and replace the outstanding balance with water and it's taste much better as it's not that oily. The fragrant and texture of the Pulot Hitam also make the rice layer much chewy.
This time round, my kaya custard was much more successful and texture better compare to the last two attempt. So for those who likes Pulot Hitam, you can try making this kueh.......Ingredients For Rice Layer:
150g White Glutinous Rice
100g Black Glutinous Rice(Pulot Hitam)

2. Steam the rice in a baking tin with some pandan leaves and salt on medium heat for about 20 minutes or till tender.
3. Remove from heat, stir in coconut milk mixture then mix well and continue to steam for another 10-15 minutes.
4. Lay a piece of banana leaf on a 7" square tin, put in the steamed rice and press down firmly until compact.
5. Steam for another 5 minutes while preparing for the Kaya Layer.
