For the dough
200 gm glutinous rice flour
50 ml pandan juice
90 ml - 110 ml warm water
few drops of green colouring

For the filling
150 gms palm sugar, cut into tiny pieces (the size of tamarind seeds)

Method:

In a bowl, add in the pandan juice, glutinous rice flour, little green colour.
Now add in the warm. water little by little, and mix the dough.
You should be able to pinch the soft dough and form small balls. That’s the consistency.

Take about 10 grms of the dough and make into a ball.
Using your index finger, create a well and place 1 piece of the palm sugar.
Now close the well and gently form it into a ball.

Bring a pot of water to boil. Now drop the ball into a pot of boiling water. 
The ball will sink to the bottom. After a while the ball will rise up to the surface.
When the rice balls float to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon.

Shake off the excess water. Coat the rice balls with the grated coconut.
Serve it with a cup of steaming tea.


NOTE: To make pandan juice, blend about 4 pandan leaves with about 100 ml water.
strain the juice through a sieve.
