Method
Rub the rice flour with the water and salt between your fingers until it resembles slightly damp, fine breadcrumbs with no lumps.
Steam the desiccated coconut for 5 minutes, then set aside for serving.
Press a layer of the moistened rice flour into small steaming moulds lined with cloth, add a spoonful of chopped palm sugar to the centre, then top with more flour and level off.
Set the filled moulds over a steamer with the pandan leaves in the water below and steam for 10 minutes until the cakes are cooked through and hold together.
Turn the cakes out onto a plate and serve warm, sprinkled with the steamed desiccated coconut.
