• 200g glutinous rice flour
• 150ml pandan juice, warm
• 100g gula melaka, chopped into small hard pieces
• 150g freshly grated coconut
• a good pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Steam the grated coconut with the salt for 5 min and spread it on a plate to cool. Unsteamed coconut sours within hours.
2. Work the flour and pandan juice into a soft dough — like plasticine, not sticky.
3. Flatten a walnut of dough, sit a piece of gula melaka in the middle, and seal it completely. One gap and the palm sugar leaks out in the water and you have boiled a hollow ball.
4. Boil in plenty of water. They are done about a minute after they float.
5. Lift them out wet and roll straight through the coconut so it sticks.
6. Eat whole, in one bite, leaning over a plate. The centre is molten and it will burst — that is the entire experience and there is no dignified way to do it.
