Method
- Whisk the starch, coconut milk, 1/4 cup water, sugar, and salt until smooth, adding the remaining water only if the mixture is too thick to pour.
- Pour into a non-stick pan over low heat.
- Stir continuously along the base and corners as the mixture thickens and turns glossy.
- Fold in the grated young coconut.
- Continue stirring until the mixture pulls from the pan in a soft cohesive mass with no raw starch taste.
- Spoon into banana leaves or small bowls.
- Cool until softly set and serve as a simple snack.
