Instructions
- To prepare filling: In a saucepan, combine the sugars, salt, water, and pandan leaves. Bring to a boil. Add grated coconut. Stir for 5 minutes, or until mixture is dry. Leave to cool completely.
- To prepare skin: In a mixing bowl, combine the flours. Stir the sugar in the hot water and pour the syrup onto the flours. Add coconut milk and oil. Knead until dough is smooth. Cover with a damp tea towel and leave to rest for 10 minutes. Divide the dough equally and shape into balls.
