Adım adım

1. 1

   Combine the tapioca starch, rice flour, and arrowroot starch in a large bowl and whisk together.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

2. 2

   In a separate saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, coconut milk, water, and salt.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

3. 3

   Heat the coconut milk mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar completely dissolves. Do not boil.

   Yaklaşık 5 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Ensure all sugar crystals are dissolved for a smooth texture.

4. 4

   Gradually pour the warm coconut milk mixture into the dry starch mixture, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.

   Yaklaşık 3 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Pour slowly and whisk vigorously to create a smooth batter.

5. 5

   Strain the batter through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl to remove any remaining lumps.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

   Aşçının notu: This step is crucial for a perfectly smooth, translucent dessert.

6. 6

   Divide the batter into two equal portions. Leave one portion plain (white layer).

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

7. 7

   To the second portion, add the pandan extract and stir well until the color is uniform.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: For an optional third layer, divide the second portion again and add pink food coloring to one of those halves.

8. 8

   Lightly grease an 8x8 inch square steaming pan with vegetable oil.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: A thin layer of oil helps prevent sticking and makes removal easier.

9. 9

   Set up your steamer and bring the water to a rolling boil.

   Yaklaşık 5 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Ensure you have enough water in the steamer to last the entire cooking time without refilling.

10. 10

    Place the greased pan in the steamer. Pour a thin layer of the plain (white) batter into the pan, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

11. 11

    Cover and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the layer is set and translucent.

    Yaklaşık 7 dk.

    Aşçının notu: The layer should not be sticky when lightly touched.

12. 12

    Pour a layer of the pandan (green) batter over the white layer. Cover and steam for another 5-7 minutes.

    Yaklaşık 7 dk.

    Aşçının notu: If making a pink layer, alternate white, pink, and green batters.

13. 13

    Continue alternating the white and pandan batters, steaming each layer for 5-7 minutes, until all the batter is used.

    Yaklaşık 40 dk.

    Aşçının notu: The final layer should be the pandan batter for a vibrant top.

14. 14

    For the final layer, steam for 10-15 minutes to ensure it is fully cooked through.

    Yaklaşık 15 dk.

15. 15

    Carefully remove the pan from the steamer and let it cool completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours.

    Yaklaşık 2 sa.

    Aşçının notu: Do not attempt to cut while warm, as it will be too soft and sticky.

16. 16

    Once completely cool, cut the Khanom Chan into diamond shapes or squares using a greased knife or plastic scraper.

    Yaklaşık 5 dk.

    Aşçının notu: Greasing your knife helps prevent the dessert from sticking and ensures clean cuts.
