Many studies show that the oils from pandan extract contain rich amounts of phytochemicals as in most green leaves known to relieve symptoms of arthritis. They can also help ease headaches and earaches. In Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia the leaves are traditionally used as tea which is good for the heart, helps your liver detoxify function, and discharges toxins and unhealthy substances from your liver and entire body.

Ingredients

1 cup freshly grated coconut flakes (75 gr)
1/4 cup water plus 1 tablespoon more (75 ml)
1 cup glutinous rice flour (130 gr)
1 tbsp rice flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup water (125 ml), with pandan essence
¼ cup (40 gr) coconut or palm sugar

Instructions

1)
On a plate, add coconut flakes, salt, and water. Best is to get fresh coconut and grate them fine. or you may used dehydrated dessicated coconut flakes. Mix everything together and warm it up slightly in a pan to allow the flakes to absorb the water throughly and get soft. Dont not use the microwave. Set aside.
2)
In a bowl, add in both flours. Slowly pour bit by bit the pandan water and mix everything together until becomes a dough.
3)
Take a thumb-sized dough and make a cup shape, more or less. Then spoon in some coconut sugar. Pinch the seams to seal and gently roll them into a ball. Place it on an oiled cling film. Do the same to the rest of the dough.
4)
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully put some of the balls inside and cook until they start to float. Once they’re floating, cook for another 1 minute. Take them out to drain of water and place them in the coconut mixture that we’ve prepared earlier. Coat them with the coconut and place them on a serving plate.
5)
Do the same to the rest of the balls. Enjoy!
