Treat your ingredients with care...

• Peaches — Choose ripe and juicy peaches for the best flavor. If peaches are not in season, you can use canned peaches as a substitute.
• Cinnamon — Use ground cinnamon for convenience, but if you have cinnamon sticks, you can infuse them in the peach mixture for added aroma.
• Cardamom — Freshly ground cardamom seeds will provide the best flavor. If unavailable, pre-ground cardamom can be used as a substitute.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle some chopped roasted almonds or cashews on top of the peach mixture before adding the batter.
• Serve the Bruneian-style Peach Delight warm for the best flavor and texture.
• If you prefer a sweeter dessert, you can increase the amount of sugar in the peach mixture according to your taste.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven or microwave before serving.
• Experiment with different spices such as nutmeg or cloves to add your own twist to the dish.
