- Cooking the glutinous rice in a steamer gives it a better texture.
- The amount of water used in the kuah serawa would also depend on the amount of durians used. Start with 350 ml and add more water if the kuah serawa is too thick. The kuah serawa should be of a pour-able consistency, like a pancake batter.
