Kueh Salat
Bottom layer:
400g glutinous rice
200ml thick coconut milk with 100ml water
2-3 pandan leaves
some blue food colouring (optional)
a pinch of salt
Top layer:
6 eggs
800 ml thick coconut milk
200g rice flour
320g sugar
50 ml pandan juice
some green food colouring
a pinch of salt
Method:
Bottom Layer:
1. Soak glutinous rice for 2-3 hours. Drain.
2. Steam the rice on pandan leaves with a pinch of salt for 15-20 minutes or till tender.
3. Remove from heat and add in coconut milk. Mix well with a wooden chopstick.
4. Then sprinkle some blue food colouring all over the rice (optional).
3. Transfer back to heat and steam for 10 minutes further or till cooked.
4. Lay a banana leaf on the bottom of an 8 inch square tray. Place steamed rice in the tray and press down firmly with a banana leaf on top to compact it.
5. Return to steamer and steam for another 5 minutes.
The bottom layer has to be hot when the top layer is poured on.
Top Layer:
1. Beat eggs in a mixing bowl lightly with a fork. Mix in the rice flour.
2. Cook coconut milk, pandan juice, sugar, salt and green food colouring over low heat. Keep stirring and add in the egg mixture. Stir continuously over low heat, until mixture thickens.
3. Pour the yellow mixture over the steamed glutinous rice in the steamer slowly. Steam for 15-20 minutes or until set
4. Cool the kueh before cutting.
*Note, i didn't have banana leaves, so I used normal grease proof paper instead. works fine.

Banana Bread:
Ingredients:
You will need
500 g riper bananas, mashed up
120 g soft butter
85 g sugar
85 g brown sugar
2 beaten eggs
2 Tbsp condensed milk
220 g self-raising flour
65 g walnuts
70 g chocolate chips
Method:
Set the oven to 180 degrees centigrade
Blend the ingredients
Using your spatula spoon the butter into the mixer bowl, follow with the brown sugar, white sugar, then lower the whisk attachment into the bowl and blend on medium speed for a few minutes. Then slow down the speed and slowly add in the eggs, the mashed bananas, the condensed milk and slowly begin to add the flour, shaking it in little by little then add in the chocolate chips and finally the walnuts.
Then switch off the blender, using your spatula give it one final quick mix by hand.
Transfer to the baking tin
Place the baking tin into the centre of the preheated oven and bake for roughly 55-60 minutes. You can check to see if it's ready by piercing into the centre of the cake with a skewer. It should come out dry and if so, remove from the oven.
*i didnt want it too sweet, so i did not add in the 85g sugar, and only used brown sugar.
taste good too!
Enjoy!! =)
