HOW TO PREPARE WATER CHESTNUT CAKE
Mix the water chestnut starch well with water, filter the mixture through a screen.
Boil the coconut milk, fresh milk and sugar over medium heat. Add in the shredded water chestnut and bring the mixture to a boil again.
Stir in the chestnut starch mixture.
Lightly coat a cake tin with oil before pouring the above mixture into it. Steam the chestnut paste over high heat for about 30 mins until it is cooked and firm.
