How pandan’s sweet and floral flavor adds nuance to sweet and savory dishes
“In Southeast Asian cuisines, pandan is used principally for aroma and secondarily for color, and very often for both simultaneously,” Tan says.
, Tan came to appreciate the extensive role pandan plays in kueh, a broad term that encompasses a wide range of dainty sweet and savory treats in parts of China, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Many kueh recipes feature layers of pandan through different preparations, from steaming and simmering, to dry toasting and weaving the leaves into a vessel to hold the kueh.
“Everyone [in Sri Lanka] has a pandan plant that they use as a part of their curries,” she says. “It’s one of the building blocks of Sri Lankan curries.” Using a technique called tempering, she toasts pandan leaves and curry leaves in hot oil to create a foundational note that rounds out the flavor of a dish.
“It’s very easy to come by, it’s inexpensive, you can swap it for recipes that use vanilla,” says Tran. “Add it to sponge cakes.” It may not be a one-to-one equivalent, so feel free to adjust the amount of extract to your taste. Pay attention to the ingredients on the label as well, as extracts with added sugar might affect the sweetness level of your cake.
