As a Malaysian, I am sure you are familiar with the pandan. Pandan is a native herbaceous plant that is native to South and Southeast Asia. Pandan paste has a thick consistency and mimics the real flavour of pandan. Compared to pandan essence, pandan paste has a stronger taste because it is boiled down to produce a more concentrated pandan flavour. Therefore, it should be used sparingly. About a quarter or half of a teaspoon is sufficient to flavour a cake. Some people use pandan juice in their recipes but pandan juice is dilute and would be difficult to be used in certain recipes such as pandan chiffon cake and pandan buns.
Pandan has its own natural colouring which imparts a nice and even green colour to your batter. However, pandan paste has added artificial colouring and flavouring. Pandan paste can also be known as pandan emulco. Moreover, pandan paste has a very fragrant aroma which can be soothing to some people.
