Steamed Mini Pandan Cake

My father is digonised with diabetes and has to control his intake of sugars and foods.  Before time, he likes beverages and foods that contain sweetness and does not really drink much water.  After since he digonised this condition, we are very careful of what he eats and drinks.  Now his condition is under control and has since on medication. Every weekend i will visit him and bake a low sugar and healthy cakes for his supper and snacks to work.  Hope my father will maintain his condition and wish he will stay healthy and joyful.
