glutinous rice flour

💰Cheaper: regular rice flour

Almond flour is lower in carbs, while regular rice flour is more accessible.

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Light coconut milk reduces calories, and evaporated milk is often less expensive.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey is a natural sweetener, while brown sugar can be more affordable.

Strain the pandan juice and set it aside for coloring and flavoring.

3

Combine glutinous rice flour, rice flour, and salt in a mixing bowl.

Add coconut milk and pandan juice to the flour mixture, stirring until smooth.

In a separate bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and allow it to activate for 5-10 minutes.

6

Mix the activated yeast into the flour mixture until fully incorporated.

7

Divide the mixture into portions and color them with food coloring as desired.

8

Grease small molds or banana leaves with oil to prevent sticking.

Pour the colored batter into the molds, filling them halfway.

Steam the molds over boiling water for 15-20 minutes until set and firm.

11

Allow the kuih to cool slightly before removing from molds.
