Kaya, also called sri kaya (from the word meaning "rich" in Malay based on its golden color) or coconut egg jam, is a coconut jam made from coconut milk, duck or chicken eggs which are flavored by pandan leaf and sweetened with sugar. The spread originated in Southeast Asia, most likely Indonesia or Malaysia. This is reflected by its tropical ingredients santan (coconut milk) and pandan leaf. Kaya is sweet and creamy, available as a golden brown or green colored spread depending on the amount of pandan and extent of caramelization of the sugar. As with other jams, kaya is typically spread on toast to make kaya toast and eaten in the morning but is enjoyed throughout the day.

Last min decided to make some homemade kaya which is my FAV among all the jam BUT those readymade and sold are slightly too sweet for me. I like thick thick kaya but i can only spread a small portion if its readymade by others. Super fuss!!! haha yes i know...
Since am making, so made extra portion for sis & family... I like to keep mine is indivdual portion so that i don't have to worry that it turn bad easily since there's coconut milk in it...
Today i didn't buy bread so no bread to make toast.... so i decided to use something else..
ENJOY....
