Instructions

Soak the glutinous rice in water for 2 hours, then drain it.
Coarsely blend the rice with 200 ml of coconut milk until you have a thick paste.
Add the sugar, salt, vanilla and the rest of the coconut milk and mix well.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C, grease a small mold with the butter, then line it with banana leaves or baking paper.
Pour the batter into the mold and smooth the surface.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is firm and lightly golden.
Let it cool, then sprinkle with toasted coconut before cutting into portions.
