Kuih Ketayap or some called it as Kuih Dadar is a traditional Malay kuih. Normally eaten during breakfast or tea time snacks. This green color thin crepe was prepared by adding natural Pandan Leaves juice to give it a natural light green color. The crepe skin is pan fried into thin layer & soft texture, then carefully roll with some sweet palm sugar coconut fillings.
I'm using the 100% homemade Gula Melaka blocks bought from Melaka. The seller said this type is more fragrant and no additional sugar added. While there is some cheaper Gula Melaka, those comes with additional sugar in it.
Ingredients : (makes about 10 rolls)
Batter for Skin
100g All Purpose Flour
260ml Pandan Juice (blend 250ml water with 5pcs Pandan Leaves & strain the juice)
50ml Coconut Milk
1 Egg
Pinch of Salt
Coconut Filling
100g Grated Coconut (chopped)
60g Gula Melaka (Palm Sugar)
70ml Water
1 pcs Pandan Leaves (cut into shorter strips)
Oil as needed
Non stick frypan (I'm using 15cm diameter base pan)
* if using a larger fry pan, you will get lesser crepe rolls.
Step by Step:
1. Mix all the ingredients for the batter in a bowl. Cover and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the filling by cooking water, palm sugar and pandan leaves in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally till palm sugar melted.
3. Add in grated coconut and mix to combine. Cook on low or medium heat till the palm sugar slowly thickens and mixture getting dry. Set aside to cool down in a plate.
4. Now prepare the crepes by heating a small non stick frying pan on medium heat and lightly brush a thin layer of oil.
5. Take a large spoonful of batter, slowly swirl the pan to enlarge and thin out the batter.
6. Let it sit until batter is cooked and the sides start to curl up. Remove from pan and place them on a plate to cool down.
7. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
8. To assemble the kuih ketayap, lay a piece of the thin crepe on a flat surface. Smooth sides up onto the plate. Fill the bottom center with some sweet grated coconut (around 1 tbsp), slightly roll up a bit, then fold in the both sides, roll up from the bottom to top. Arrange them neatly on a plate.
9. Repeat the folding process until all crepes are being use up.
10. Ready to serve as breakfast or tea time snacks.
Happy Cooking..
