KUCHI KOCI

Kuih Koci is a Malaysia desert . I would like to share this easy recipe with all of you.

(A)

Banana leaves cut into 6 in X 4 in pieces (20 pieces) and scald in boiling water. Take out and dry.

(B) - For the filling

1 cup shredded coconut (white only)
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 tabsp sugar
1 cup water
pinch of salt

Boil water, add sugar and salt. When syrup becomes thick add coconut and cook for about 3 minutes until mixture thickens. Dish out and cool.

(C)

300grm Glutinous(Pulut) rice flour
1 1/4 cup thick coconut milk
2 tabsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tabsp vegetable oil

In a large bowl mix all the ingredients in C until you get a soft dough. If dough is dry, add a little water (only slightly).

Make into 20 equal portions. Spread a little oil on your palm so that dough doesn't stick. Take one portion and flatten it like a saucer. Put in 1 tsp of coconut filling and close the dough back into a ball. Take one piece of banana leave and put the ball on it and join the two ends and fold back. Do the same for all.

Steam over rapidly boiling water for 15 - 20 minutes or until cooked. Served when cool.
