Serikaya has always been my all time favorite. As it is never easy to cook serikaya the traditional way since then I have stopped making my own serikaya. One has to stir and stand by the stove nearly hours to make serikaya the traditonal way. Today I cook it by using breadmaker.Ingredients.
2/3 cup of sugar (1 cup will be more ideal for those not health conscious)
1 cup of egg (5 eggs)
1 cup of santan
12 - 15 leaves of pandan
Whisk the egg with the sugar, pour all the ingredients into the basket of the breadmaker. Press the jam function program button. The kaya will be ready in the next 1 hr and 5 mins. Never mind if it may looks a little bit like scramble egg. When it is luke warm, transfer the kaya into the blender and blend till smooth.
It is so fragrance. The smell of genuine home made kaya is totally different from the shelf ready made kaya at the supermarket.
The cost are :
Eggs - RM 1.50
Sugar - Abt RM0.50
Santan - RM2.00
Pandan - free (home grown)
Total cost RM4.00
If I were to buy from the wet market, this serikaya are sold at RM3.00/plastic cup . I can have about 3 cups - worth RM9.00. This is a saving of aprrox RM5.00 or in other words the RM5.00 is for labour cost.
Sources and idea of this breadmaker made kaya are from :

Hallo Eagle, that is a tasty kaya. Also the delicious/beautiful mooncake n bread at your other post. Too bad i can't take egg n milk as am trying to be vegan.
ReplyDeleteMy friend sometime sell vegan kaya which made from pumpkin. It is also very tasty similar to the other kaya which have egg subtances. The recipes was obtained thru an organic magazine but i do not have this recipes or else i would have share the recipes.
There are many Vegan recipes of biscuit, cakes, dessert, bread ..etc that can be made without using eggs or milk. Milk can be replaced with soya milk. Eggs can be replaced with egg replacer, banana, flaxseed...so on. it can be checked at the vegan website. The taste that u wanted won't be the same as what u expected but at least it can help your health security n save earth.
Actually cow's milk is a subtance designed by nature for baby cows, not for humans consumption. Many cow have been feeds high in pesticide residues, given hormones n antibiotic to force the cow to grow bigger n more milk production. So the milk somehow do not benefit for human health instead created more toxins. It is say that milk can cause cancer, flu, cough, skin infections, fattening, very cholesterol , acidic.......etc. Baby which was given milk will have symptoms like flu or skin problem which the mother was not aware of it. My uncle's wife who like to take milk daily had now breast cancer n now have to give up milk. I guess i don't have to say much about egg which was also very cholesterol.
Actually the reason i wrote today is to inform u of an important programme which i feel people should watch it in order to save our current earth which is facing untold natural disaster, climate change n diseases.
Pls watch www.suprememastertv.com: Between
Master n Disciple title: The Secrets of VENUS.
But now is already part 4 of 14. U can watch the all parts at the download section found SupremeMaster Television : Between Master and Disciples or the front section. The subsequence parts(5 to 14) will have to be check at the schedule time. I have written some of the summary at http://damiensotherblog.blogspot.com topic : i see dead people at the commentor section.
Hope u will understand why an organic vegan diet is very important in saving our earth n yourself after watching this programme. Whereas meat consumption/industry will cause destruction n problem to our planetary system. Organic vegan will produce a beneficial cooling effect as it will cut down methane and other greenhouse gases which are fatal to our survival.
i know its hard to let go of eggs n milk as many food recipes require these two substances to complete the meal. But nothing is impossible as many vegan chef had discovered many healthy meal without using eggs n milk n sometimes soyfree. Hope u will also remind others to be veg in order to save our only planet earth. By doing so it will invoke the mercy of the Buddhas, and we will be better protected.
