What to do with a big bunch of pandan leaves besides using it to cook dessert or baking? Found this recipes on Bakericous's Blog and decided to give it a try :) As I do not want to add any green colourings to the rice, I increase the amount of pandan juice instead. The result is a lightly pale green coloured rice which my camera does not managed to capture it well!!
