Method
- Cook mango purée and calamansi over medium heat until reduced to about half and thick enough to hold a line on the pan.
- Warm coconut milk, sugar, salt, and butter, then add the drained rice.
- Cook while stirring until the rice is half-tender and most coconut liquid has been absorbed.
- Cool both mixtures; place rice on banana leaf and add only one teaspoon of thick mango filling along the centre.
- Fold the rice around the filling, roll tightly, and secure the ends so mango cannot leak into the steamer.
- Steam for 35–45 minutes until the rice is fully tender, then rest 10 minutes.
- Serve at room temperature and refrigerate within two hours because of the moist fruit centre.
