Method

  1. 01

    Flavour the water

    Mix the pandan essence into the warm water.

  2. 02

    Make the dough

    Mix the glutinous rice flour with the rice flour. Gradually add the flavoured water and work the mixture until it forms a pliable dough.

  3. 03

    Fill and seal

    Divide the dough into small portions and flatten each one. Place a little palm sugar in the centre, close the dough around the filling, then roll each portion between your hands to form a sealed ball.

  4. 04

    Boil and coat

    Bring plenty of water to a boil in a pot. Add the balls and cook for about 10 minutes, until they float. Remove them and roll them in the grated coconut to coat.
