Preparation Steps
1
In a small saucepan, heat the palm sugar and water until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let it cool completely.
2
In a bowl, combine the rice flour, tapioca flour, and salt.
3
Slowly add the coconut milk and sugar syrup, mixing until smooth to form a medium-thick batter.
4
Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
5
If using banana leaves, cut them into smaller pieces and steam for a few minutes to make them pliable.
6
Using a tablespoon, place small portions of the batter onto the banana leaves or directly into a steamer.
7
Steam the cakes for about 15 minutes, or until they become translucent and springy.
8
Sprinkle with fresh shredded coconut and serve warm or at room temperature.
