Preparation

Step 1

1. Place pandan leaf, sugar and water into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and let it cool down.
2. Meanwhile wilt banana leaf (blanch, steam or over open flame, as you wish)
3. Mix the cooled syrup with the rice flour and stir.
4. Lightly grease a piece of banana leaf.
5. Place 1 heaped Tbsp of rice batter onto greased leaf and spread it around.
6. Place some coconut into the center.
7. Bring both sides of the banana leaf up and fold twice. First fold is small, 2nd fold is bigger to the sides. Then fold the sides down.
8. Steam on MEDIUM heat for 15 minutes. If you’re making more, you can stack them to steam, but the 2nd layer should be across the first layer, for better steam circulation.
