Ingredients

  • 10 screwpine leaves
  • 2-3 drops green food coloring
  • 1/2 cup green pea flour (hoon kway)
  • 5 tablespoons palm sugar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 4 1/2 cups water
  • 1 coconut, grated
  • salt

Directions

1

Pound screwpine leaves to extract the juice.

2

Add sufficient water to the juice with green food coloring to make 2 cups.

3

Mix green pea flour with the juice.

4

Cook this mixture over medium heat stirring continuously until it bubbles.

5

Place chendol frame (I have no idea what this even looks like, but should be a sieve with large holes) over a basin of cold water and ice cubes.

6

Spoon the cooked screwpine mixture onto the chendol frame and with a spatula, press through the holes into the cold water.

7

Drain off the water and chill the chendol.

8

Boil the palm sugar and granulated sugar with 1/2 cup water to get syrup.

9

Strain and cool the syrup.

10

Add the remaining water to the grated coconut and extract coconut milk.

11

Add a good pinch of salt to the coconut milk.

12

To serve, place 1 tablespoon chendol into a small serving bowl, then add 1 tablespoon syrup and 1/4 cup coconut milk.

13

Top the bowl with ice shavings and serve immediately.

14

Note: If pure green pea flour is used, mix 2 1/2 cups of screwpine juice to 1/2 cup green pea flour.
