Scroll down for ingredients Seri Muka is a traditional kuih that is very popular in Malaysia and Singapore (where it is known as Kueh Salat). It consists of a delicate pandan custard layer sitting on top of a bed of glutinous rice. That combination of soft and firm, sweet and savoury is simple divine!
So how do you make Kuih Seri muka if you can’t get your hands on fresh coconut milk. According to our mum, don’t bother! But with some persuasion, she agreed to try as getting fresh coconut milk was challenging during the Covid-19 restrictions. Of all the packaged coconut cream brands, Kara has never disappointed when cooking savoury dishes. So we decided to have a go using that. Guess what? It was SO good! You won't be able to tell the difference.
Smell the coconut cream before you start. Then heat the coconut milk for a good 10 to 15 minutes and stir vigorously to get rid of the “old oil” smell. Use medium heat to prevent boiling and splitting of the milk. By the end of the cooking process you will get a whiff of “fresh” coconut milk.
