coconuts,
extract as much milk as possible, separating the thin from the thick
screw pine
leaves
Method :
Mix both types of flour with the thin
coconut milk and strain into an iron pan. Cook the palm sugar and screw pine
leaves with a little bit of water and when it has dissolved pour into
the pan. Bring the mixture to boil over a very
low flame, stirring continuously. When it is half cooked add the thick
coconut milk and continue stirring until cooked. When mixture no longer sticks to the
fingers, it is ready to be removed from the fire.
Note - Old Malay folks believe that a pregnant
women should not pass a banana leaf over a fire to soften it. They
believe that the child might be born with spots like banana leaf.
