4 cups coconut treacle (kithul) 

2 tsp salt

Method:

In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt thoroughly. 

Add a little coconut milk to the flour and mix until the flour forms ibto small balls like beads. Do not add water. Cover and steam the flour beads for about 30 minutes or until cooked. 

Remove from the streamer and separate the flour beads and set aside. Boil the treacle and coconut milk in a large saucepan and add the flour beads while stirring. Keep stirring the mixture until the oil starts to separate. 

Remove from heat. Transfer into a greased dish and shape into a block. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
