To make the glutinous rice layer: Mix rice, coconut milk, water, salt and Pandan leaves in a baking tray.
Steam the rice mixture over a high heat for 25 minutes until cooked. Remove from the steamer and discard the Pandan leaves. Fluff the rice with a fork and use a banana leaf to press and compact the rice layer.
Return the rice layer to the steamer. Continue to steam for another 10 minutes.
To make the Pandan custard layer: Combine Pandan juice and all the flours and mix well. In another bowl, whisk eggs, coconut milk and sugar together and add in the Pandan mixture. Mix well and strain the mixture into a clean medium size bowl.
Place the Pandan mixture on top of simmering pan of water. Stir and cook until the custard mixture start to thicken. Remove from the heat and mix until smooth. (About 15 minutes) Pour the mixture into the rice layer and continue to steam over a low heat for about 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove the kuih from the steamer. Allow the kuih to cool completely and slice to serve.
Note: To make the Pandan Juice. Blend 10 Pandan leaves with 200 ml water.
