Prepare the steamer and boil for few minutes. Mix all the
sugars, water, screw pine leaf in a small saucepan till

while. Mix thoroughly all the flours, alkaline water, salt and water
in a separate bowl. Add the syrup ingredients gradually
into the flour mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon till

Then pour into a baking tin and steam for 20 minutes in a

minutes, fill them with mixture and steam over high heat
for 7-8 minutes. Cool and remove from cups, roll in
grated coconut before serving.
