Kueh Salat

This is an old time favourite dessert.It is called "Kueh Salat" or some called it "Seri Muka".It is a
kind of sweet dessert with glutinous rice at the bottom and pandan /screwpine leaves flavour at the top.If you add
salt,it has a sweet and salty taste.It depends whether you want to add some salt or not for the top layer,but for the bottom layer,you must add some salt to it to have a better and tastier taste.




This is an improved recipe taken from free recipes while shopping and alter a bit to suit my taste.
It is very very nice.Not too sweet and just the correct consistency that I wanted.


Ingredients for bottom layer:

300g glutinous rice
200ml coconut cream
1/2 tsp salt
3-4 pieces screwpine leaves/pandan

Ingredients for top layer(green):

80ml green juice extracted from 10 pieces screwpine leaves
200ml coconut milk
125g sugar
30g wheat flour
25g corn flour
3 eggs

Method:

1.Wash clean the glutinous rice and soak for 4 hours.

2.Drain away the water.Add in 200ml of coconut cream.You can also add 1tsp salt.Place 3 or 4 pieces of screwpine leaves for fragrant.Steam for 15 minutes.

3.Prepare the top layer while steaming the glutinous rice.

4.In a blender,blend the screwpine leaves with some water.Strain through a sieve and take out 80ml juice.

5.Mix all the top ingredients until well-combined.Sieve the batter to  a smooth paste.

6.Take out the rice from the steamer.Take away the leaves and puff up the rice.Press the rice firmly with a banana leaf in another lined pan.(leave out the banana leaf if you don't have one)but use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.


7.Pour the sieved batter over the steamed glutinous rice.Steam for 1 hour over medium heat.

8.Wait till it is cold then cut it out diagonally or square shape.
