Method
- Toast split mung beans in a dry pan until nutty, then simmer in water until tender and drain well.
- Mash half the beans and leave the rest slightly coarse for texture.
- Whisk rice flour, glutinous rice flour, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt into a smooth batter.
- Fold in the mung beans and rest the mixture for 10 minutes.
- Line a 20 cm square pan with banana leaves and brush with coconut oil.
- Pour in the batter and steam over medium heat for 30–35 minutes.
- Check the centre with a skewer; it should emerge without wet flour paste.
- Cool until firm, top with latik if desired, and cut with an oiled knife.
