Klepon

Ingredients:
1½ cups glutinous rice powder
¾ cup lukewarm water (optionally coconut milk)
2-3 drops green food coloring or pandan paste
8 tsp. grated palm sugar
1 cup fresh-grated coconut, mixed with ½ tsp. salt

Method:
Mix the glutinous rice powder with the lukewarm water and green food coloring into a firm but flexible dough.
Pull off one full teaspoon of the dough and shape it into a ball with approximately 2½ cm (1 inch) in diameter.

Push a finger into the center of the ball to make a hole, and put in approximately ½ tsp. of the grated sugar. Seal, and roll it back into the ball shape with the palms of your hands.
Prepare all the balls and set them aside.
Prepare a pot half filled with water and bring it to a boil.
Drop the balls into the boiling water. Remove the balls with a spoon once they float to the water surface and then roll the balls in the grated coconut.
Serve at room temperature.
