From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kaya ( also srikaya, means "rich" in Malay because the colour's(the original) look like the gold) is a jam made from coconut milk and duck/chicken eggs, flavoured by the unique pandan leaf, and sweetened with sugar.It originated in Indonesia and Malaysia or South-east Asia because the main ingredients only can be seen in tropical country, which is santan(coconut milk) and pandan leaf (daun pandan).Santan and pandan are the most popular ingredients in Malay world. It tastes sweet and somewhat creamy, and is available as either a gold/brown or green coloured spread, depending on how much pandan juice has added to it or the degree of caramelization of the sugar content. As with other jams, kaya is typically spread on toast and eaten in the morning, but is not limited to this use. The first use of Kaya actually used with ketupat pulut(ketupat palas) in Indonesia and Malaysia.
