MY BEST EVER TALAM PANDAN

I've made so many Talam Pandan but this is the one that I am so happy about. It turn out so beautiful, beautiful cuts, the aroma was great and texture was wonderful. Steamed Talam Pandan is another classic Nyonya dessert. Kuih is a common local Malaysian word for all Nyonya and Malay desserts. This popular kuih not only is one of Malaysian all-time breakfast favorite but also serves as great party snacks. 

Making this kuih Talam could be problematic if you don't have the right portion of the wet and dry ingredients. Our great-great moms were expert in making talam but most the time it was base on "agak-agak", so if dont know how to "agak-agak"(estimate) then our talam could be a disaster. for those of you who have had a bad experience in making "talam" try this recipe from Evon Kow...I guaranteed it wont let you down.

Sudah banyak kalai saya membuat kuih talam tapi so this is the best yang pernah saya buat. Tekturnya lembut, harum dan bentuk duduknya pun cantik bila dipotong. Tidak terlalu keras tidak terlalu lembut dan ia antara kenyal dan tidak memang ngam-ngam. Resipi ilham dari Evon Kow ini mudah membuatnya. Adunan bawah iaitu adunan pandanya dimasak hingga pekat seperti membuat cendol lalu dikukus manakala bahagian atasnya di kacau sehingga naik tau lalu dituang ke atas bahagian hijau. penggunaan green peas flour menjadikan bahagian atasnya kilat dan cantik. Pada yang selalu tidak bernasib baik dengan kuih talam cuba resipi ini anda pasti tidak akan kecewa.
