200g Coconut meat, shredded
200g Palm sugar
1 Cup Water
1 Cup Sticky rice flour
1/2 Cup Water (for dough)
2 Cup Coconut meat, shredded(for coating)
1/2 Tsp Salt
  1. In a bowl combine the 2 cups of coconut meat and salt and put to one side
  2. In a heavy bottom pot on high heat simmer 200g coconut meat, palm sugar and 1 cup water until the water is absorbed by the coconut
  3. Once absorbed allow to cool slightly and then create small balls with the meat. Don’t allow to completely cool as they won’t stick together as a ball when completely cooled. Put balls to one side
  4. Combine in a bowl flour and 1/2 cup of water. Knead until the dough doesn’t stick to your fingers anymore. If the dough it too sticky or doesn’t stick together enough add more water/flour
  5. Create dough balls approximately the same size as the ball of coconut you want to cover
  6. Flatten the ball and place the coconut ball in the middle.  Pull the sides over the coconut ball and stretch the dough to surround the coconut
  7. Place ball in aggressively boiling water.  When the ball floats it is cooked
  8. Take the ball out and roll in the salted coconut meat.  Serve and enjoy
