Yup the amount of coconut milk used is :!: . I replaced 1/4 of it with low fat fresh milk. Coconut milk is added in the glutinous rice as well.

This is not a kueh for the health conscious. But then which nonya kueh is.

In total, this recipe called for 1 litre of thick coconut milk to 6 eggs and 400g of glutinous rice.

If you like the taste of your aunt’s kueh salat, get the estimated recipe from her and figure out from there.

The kueh I made this time kinda rough round the edges. The rice is ok but the top part, well too floury in texture and it did not set well. I had to re-steam it for a long time for it to fully set.

Ya will try to get from her the recipe when she's feeling better as she's now quite old and sick. Her glutinous rice also has this blue patterns which I personally don't quite like, though I know this is the traditional Kueh Salat.

Thanks for sharing the picture of Kueh Salat and for sharing that the coconut milk can be replaced with some low fat milk, Funz. :celebrate:

This 'blue pattern' is from some kind of purplish flower, (forgot the name), very typical for Nonya Kueh.

It's made from flowers? I didn't know that. All the while I thought they were using some kind of blue dye. Even their Nonya Dumplings also must put the blue stuff. I find too much colouring. :roll:

Genuine Nonya Kueh will use that flower, not colouring. Try telling the Peranakans that they use colouring for their Nonya Kueh, think they will skin you alive! :lol:

:lol: :lol: To think that I thought I was eating blue dye all these while whenever I eat their kuehs.

I've checked, yes the blue colour comes from the Blue Pea Flower or Bunga Telang.

So now you know it's not colouring or dye. Luckily you didn't say that to your aunt, otherwise, might get slaugtered by her! The Peranakans are very, very proud of their food. :celebrate:

[Funz]

Haha. You ladies.


Yah most peranakans are rather particular about the ingredients. If my mum were to try the kuehs that I make, she will say not gd enough cos I use pre packed coconut milk, not fresh coconut milk.

She gave me a bunch of those flowers recently but I did not use them. Did not find that it makes the kueh anymore attractive and it does not enhance the taste.
