There are many ways to make Kaya. Some steam it for hours, some double boil it. I always choose the quickest method. I cooked it over direct fire which took me about 30 minutes only.
Only three ingredients are needed for this, sugar, eggs,coconut milk in the proportion of 2:1:1.
Normally I use bowl to measure the ingredients but today i have converted the measurements into metric.
Trust me it is very easy to make this. Just mix the ingredients together and stir over slow fire.
