Pandan Kuih Kaswi or Kosui Recipe

Updated: Oct 9, 2023


Kuih kosui, also known as kuih lompang, is a traditional Malaysian kuih from Peranakan cuisine. The kuih is a steamed rice cake made with tapioca flour and rice flour flavoured with palm sugar and Pandan, and eaten with grated coconut. It bears resemblance to the Burmese Mont kywe the and Filipino Kutsinta.


Pandan fans out there are going to love this! And remember to check out our new Pandan Liquid Extract 1000g. Nigella Lawson has proclaimed Pandan as a hot new food trend, and many are discovering this humble plant's beautiful fragrance and benefits. In this extract, one teaspoon of concentrated essence is extracted from seven pieces of Pandan leaves.

Note:

(1) The kuih should be cooked when all the batter turns darker green and does not stick to your skewer.

(2) Traditionally it's Kuih Kosui with Gula Melaka i.e. Palm Sugar and the batter is usually steamed in small Chinese cups, and the cakes are traditionally served topped with freshly grated coconut.
