Do sieve the eggs mixture after whisking with sugar before combined to coconut milk.

To achieve the rich & smooth texture, you need to stir it continuously. You can use the double boiler or just let the pot of kaya partly immerse in a bigger pot of warm water over medium to medium high Callanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217875128657459935.post-38275889044506231232011-03-08T12:57:04.586-08:002011-03-08T12:57:04.586-08:00Hi!!

However, if your kaya is turning out hard or overcook could be due to the following reasons <br />1. Cooked for too long<br />2. Your fire was too big thus it is very hot and this quickens the cooking process.<br /><br />And yes definitely you can use your kaya mysimplefoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07914139099166180780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217875128657459935.post-30925466070968968012011-03-02T23:43:34.836-08:002011-03-02T23:43:34.836-08:00Hi Simplefood

It would have never crossed my mind, but I would like it VERY much. Regarding the lumpiness, when you double boil, the pan that your "custard" is in should not touch the water. Put about 1" of water in one pan and the jam in a second pan or bowl that is small enough so it fits snugly but doesn't touch the bottom or the water.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752458901614211514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217875128657459935.post-56222496659634112652010-07-16T06:37:27.456-07:002010-07-16T06:37:27.456-07:00I had made pandan kaya before, but this is in my t...I had made pandan kaya before, but this is in my to do list, must try this out soon.

It's coconut, eggs and sugar.<br /><mysimplefoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07914139099166180780noreply@blogger.com
