Kueh Salat

This kueh is a favourite of mine. I like anything with glutinous rice be it sweet or savoury. I know alot of friends like this kueh too! The last time I had this was in December 2004 from Bengawan Solo. Was talking to my sister about this kueh last night and she gave me this recipe to try.
The kueh is nice but don't over indulged...look at the amount of coconut milk used.

Ingredients: (18cm round springform pan)
Rice Layer
200g glutinous rice (soak in water for 5 hours)
100ml coconut milk + 50ml water
2 pandan leaves
1/2 tsp salt

Egg Custard Layer
3 eggs
30g flour + 25g rice flour
350ml coconut milk
140g castor sugar
2 tbsp pandan juice
1/4 tsp pandan paste
1/4 tsp salt

Method:
1. Drain rice and steam on pandan leaves for 20 minutes.
2. Remove from heat, fluff up the rice with a pair of chopsticks and pour in the coconut milk + salt + water mixture . Mix well. Steam for a further 20 minutes or till cooked.
3. Remove pandan leaves and press cooked glutinous rice firmly onto a lined pan. I lined my pan with baking paper. You can line it with a sheet of banana leaf.
4. Sieve the 2 flours mixture and add them to lightly beaten eggs. Strain mixture.
5. Combine coconut milk with pandan juice, salt and sugar. Cook over low heat till sugar dissolved. Stir in the egg mixture and cook till slightly thicken.
6. Pour this slightly thickened egg custard over the steamed glutinous rice and steam for 15 - 20 minutes.
7. Cut kueh into serving slices when cool.

Notes:
I added pandan paste to give it a nice jade color.

Hi Florence, i love the kuehs from Bengawan Solo too! Do you have the recipe for Kueh Ambon, Nagasari and Getuk-Getuk? They're my favourites, especially Kueh Ambon and Nagasari. Jenn

Wah! This is the first time I saw this kueh so nicely done at home. I tried once years ago and it was a complete flop. The problem was the upper layer seeped into the rice below, mixing it and therefore it marries into one.

Hi z-gal,
I cooked the custard layer till it is slightly thicken so when you pour over the cooked rice it will not seep into the rice.

Florence, looks very nice..even. Although I feel that the jade colour a bit too artificial. At first I thought you made Agar-agar. yeah..cannot eat too much. bad for health. so much c-nut milk in the custard and also the rice.

Hi Connie,
The custard layer is not firm, just nice for me. You might like to try it to see if it is to your liking.

Hi foodcrazee,
Kueh Talam doesn't use glutinous rice as the white layer. Kueh Talam should be different from Kueh Salat.

Hi Florence.. Do I have to continue stirring the custard after adding the flour mixture until it thickens?

Hi Florence

Thanks, had tried your recipe 4 times, only 2nd time turned out right (steamed 30 minutes). The rest are middle part not cooked (wet), I have to steam more than 30 minutes using medium low heat but end results not nice. Any idea why this happened?

Hi Florence from Perth,
You did not cook Step (5) thick enough.

So I followed the steps but had a couple of problems:

1) When I mixed the flour-egg mixture with the coconut milk mixture and heat it over really low heat, it would kind of clump together (I think it was the flour cooking or something). It's still like a batter, just with clumps.

2) When steaming, water always gets into it and it doesn't steam well. How should I steam such that it'll be able to set properly?
