Step:

  1. Preparation : Prepare steamer. Grease moulds generously with cooking oil. Sift flour. Next, prepare the topping by mixing D. Steam D for 5 minutes. Skip steaming if using freshly grated coconut. Scoop a tsp or a tbsp of this grated coconut into the moulds (just enough to cover the bottom of the moulds) and press it down firmly with your thumb or finger. Set all these aside. Next, prepare the batter.
