Yummylicious Kaya

A yummy-licious kaya recipe from the master aka Grandma. Better 'file' it in cyber-space before forgetful me forgets the recipe.

My pot of gold!

Ingredients:
4 eggs
(preferrably those from 'kampung chickens' aka Malaysian free range chickens)
Santan (Coconut milk) from 1 coconut
2 bowls of sugar

Cooking Instructions:
(Apologies for the badly drafted instructions below. Can't figure out how to explain the techniques. Kaya making is an art! Trust me, I've failed many times. But finally perfected the technique! *yay!*)

Your mixture should look like this

1. Beat eggs (gently).
2. Add in coconut milk and sugar. Mix well.
3. Put in a 'hot water bath'. Make sure water is boiling gently.
4. Stir until mixture thickens.
5. Leave covered. Stirring ocassionally every 10 minutes.

Note: If your mixture turns out lumpy (as per picture below). It means you're screwed. A whole pot of kaya down the drain!

You're screwed! Better luck next time, babe!

Best served hot, with fresh bread. Or cold, with Cream Crackers (personal favourite).

Cream crackers + Cold Kaya = Best breakfast/Snack on planet Earth
