NO DURIANS? Not in my life...DURIANS! The King of fruits! Some may be disgusted by this pungeant smelling fruit but some can just eat one whole of it like there is no tomorrow! This recipe my friend, is something which my Dad loves to cook! It serves well as a desert or an afternoon snack but I love this and really don't mind having my durian cooked this way. Most importantly, you must get a darn good durian, those huge ones with small seeds and lots of flesh! And of course, the flesh must taste sweet and durian-y. haha. Mmmm.. Let's start!
"Bubur" Durian/ Durian Pudding
Ingredients:
6 strips of Pine/ "Pandan" leaves; tied together into a knot
15 cups of Coconut Milk
2 cups of sugar
600g of (ripe) Durian flesh
200g of Biscuit Osborne ("Cap Ayam")
Method:
Bring the coconut milk and pandan leaves to a boil. Lower the heat after putting the sugar in and let it simmer until you can smell the aroma of the pine leaves and coconut milk. Put the durian in and stir well. Lastly, put in the biscuits. Simmer for around 15-20 minutes (or longer) until the biscuits are soft and puffy.
Serves: 5-7 (in small portions)
*Tips*: The flesh of the durian can be taken off the seeds for a better presentation. More coconut milk and sugar shall be added during the simmering process especially when the biscuits are added as the biscuits tend to suck in the coconut milk. You must use this particular brand of biscuits as it is much more dry, less tasty and works really well in this recipe. And yes, it is exactly called "Biscuit Osborne"! :oD Serves great warm or cooled in the fridge.
For those durian lovers, this is one recipe worth trying!
