     4    14-ounce cans coconut milk


 2 1/2 c  Glutinous rice


   1/2 c  Long grain rice


     4 c  Granulated sugar


   1/2 ts Salt


     2 c  Brown sugar, packed

          -nuts, optional


     3    Eggs beaten






 While wading through my pile of newspaper clippings I ran across the


 following gem.  I can't help but think that it might be even better


 if you used palm sugar instead of the brown sugar.  Never heard of


 "pilli" nuts++any idea what they are?


 


 Open cans of coconut milk without shaking.  Spoon off thick milk that


 has risen to top and measure 2 cups.  Measure 4 cups remaining


 thinner milk. Freeze any unused coconut milk.


 


 Mix glutinous and long-grain rice in a bowl.  Cover with hot water


 and let stand for 5 minutes.  Drain rice and turn into a heavy


 4-quart saucepan. Mix thin coconut milk, granulated sugar and salt


 with rice.


 


 Bring to boil, reduce heat to very low and cook, covered until rice is


 tender but not soft, about 30 minutes.  Turn rice into well-greased


 13- by 9-inch baking pan, flatten rice and smooth top; set aside.


 


 Mix thick coconut milk and brown sugar in a saucepan.  Add vanilla and


 nuts.  Cook and stir until sugar dissolves and syrup thickens, about 5


 minutes.  Gradually stir some of the hot mixture into eggs, then


 return to saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly


 thickened, about 1 minute.  Pour topping evenly over rice.


 


 Bake in a 375F oven for 30 minutes.  Remove from oven and cool to room


 temperature.  Cut into squares to serve.


 


 Serves 16 to 20.
