Jehan, you sound like me – we both love to eat GOOD food! This is a dessert my mother made for us when we were small children, and I remembered how I loved this – it is sooooo GOOD and good for you! We stopped making it for years, I’m not sure why. I think you will like this. I suggest you try this recipe and please let me know if you like it. Please email me your response.

ps: be sure to not over-bake this, you want the “fat top” to be ‘soft’. As it is baked in the oven, a delicious, flavorful, soft layer forms at the top, which is why it is known as “fat top”. Over baking will result in an overdone crust and you don’t want that. I use organic cornmeal and organic coconut milk/cream. The cornmeal I use is “Bob’s Red Mill” which is organic.

FAT TOP RECIPE

1 can coconut milk
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 lb coarse cornmeal

Mix all ingredients together in medium size pyrex dish. Add 2 cans of water and mix thoroughly. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 45 mins to 1 hour or until the top is cooked to a SOFT consistency. Then remove from oven and allow to cool.

I just discovered your site. Absolutely endearing, brilliant, creative and many more similar descriptions! I love the way you write also, one can almost ‘smell’ the foods in your recipes! Somebody asked for a “fat top” recipe. If you need it, I have one. Thanks for all that you do.

Thank you for the traditional Guyanese cookup recipe you’ve posted. I was searching for the wiri wiri peppers and will check to see whether you’ve posted any recipes for dhal puri.
