Coconut Curd

A popular preserve in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia is kaya, also known as coconut curd or coconut egg jam. Similar to a curd, the authentic product uses fresh pandan leaves, which have a pine and citrus taste. As these can usually only be found in Asian supermarkets, the recipe includes them as optional - it is delicious with or without them. The curd is served as a snack spread on buttered toast.
