Kaya - Rich egg custard

Kaya means rich so it must be with more eggs for the custard. There are many versions and to each its own. This is my version, simple , fast and rich. The microwave is used to cook this custard.

• 5 eggs (280 gm)
• 280 gm sugar
• 200 ml thick coconut milk
• a pinch of salt
• 1/4 tsp of powdered vanillin

Method:

1. Stir and whip all ingredients except vanillin in a glass bowl to break up the eggs. Strain mixture.
2. Microwave uncovered for 5 mins on level 4(i am using 1000 watts) and then stir. Repeat again 5 mins on level 4, by now the mixture will be thicker.
3. Continue to Microwave for 3 mins on level 3, remove from microwave and stir. the custard should be thicken by now.
4. This time, cover with cling wrap and leave an opening for steam, microwave on the level 2 for 5 mins.
