Directions

1
Prepare the palm sugar syrup by boiling equal amounts of palm sugar and water until the mixture thickens into a syrup. Set aside to cool slightly.
2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rice flour, tapioca flour, 6 cups of coconut milk, salt, and pandan leaves.
3
Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, until it becomes very thick and creamy.
4
Remove the saucepan from heat and discard the pandan leaves.
5
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then gently fold in the diced jackfruit.
6
Prepare the banana leaves by cleaning them and placing two leaves together to form a double layer.
7
Spoon a portion of the cooked pudding mixture into the center of the banana leaf pair.
8
Pleat the sides of the banana leaves to enclose the pudding, forming a neat packet.
9
Pour 1 tablespoon of thick coconut milk and 1 tablespoon of palm sugar syrup into each packet before sealing.
10
Secure the packets with toothpicks. Alternatively, roll the mixture into a cone shape and serve the coconut milk and syrup on the side.
11
Place the packets in a steamer and steam for 25 minutes until heated through and cooked.
12
