What is Kuih Dadar?

Kuih Dadar is not a standard everyday dish in many Western kitchens, which is exactly why it is interesting. At its core, it is soft green pandan crêpes filled with sweet coconut, a classic Malay treat with a lovely aroma. The key is balance: savoury, aromatic, fresh and sometimes sweet or spicy. Serve it with rice, noodles, vegetables or a crisp cucumber side so the flavours can stand out clearly.
