Kuih koci (sweet glutinous rice dumplings)

Instructions

1. Rinse the glutinous rice, then steam it for 30 minutes, sprinkling it with a little water halfway through.
2. Meanwhile, melt the palm sugar in water, then add the coconut and salt and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the filling is dry and sweet.
3. Pound or roughly blend the cooked rice with the pandan and rice flour until you get a pliable dough.
4. Shape small balls of dough and make a little well in the centre of each.
5. Fill each well with the coconut filling, close the ball and roll it between your palms to smooth it.
6. Lightly brush with oil and let cool. Serve at room temperature.
