250 g Flour, Rice
250 g Coconut
1/2 ts Salt
75 ml -water, hot
180 ml Coconut milk, thick
Directions
Roast and sieve the flour well. Grate the coconut.
Place the flour in a bowl and add the salt. Slowly
pour in the hot water, mixing with your fingers as you
do so until it resembles bread crumbs. Add the grated
coconut and mix well in. Place the mixture in the
pittu mould and place over a pan of boiling water
until steam emerges from the top of the pittu mould.
Cover with half a coconut shell and steam for a
further 5 minutes or until done.
Note: If a pittu mould is not available, mould dough
into loaf shape, wrap in muslin and steam for about 15
minutes.
