Lockdown - Day 56: Let’s End off the lockdown & Welcome Our Phase 1 With The Renowned Peranakan Kuih Salat.
This must be an all-time favourite Nyonya dessert: Kueh Salat or Kuih Seri Muka by another name.
Those that you get from shops are usually made with artificial green colouring to enhance the top layer. As for this recipe, I’ve used a lot of pandan (screwpine) leaves to get a deep rich green colour without any artificial food dye.

400 g glutinous rice
250 ml santan (150 ml thick coconut milk with 100 ml water)
