Rice Pyramids with Palm Sugar Filling
200 g (1 cup) uncooked glutinous rice, washed and soaked for 3- 4 hours (or overnight)
100 g (1 cup) freshly grated coconut
¼ teaspoon salt
2-3 banana leaf sheets, softened and cut into 18-20 small squares (12 cm / 5 in across)
100 g (½ cup) finely chopped palm sugar
1 Drain the glutinous rice and grind in a blender to the texture of fine breadcrumbs, scraping the sides of the blender with a spoon or spatula to ensure the rice is all ground.
2 In a mixing bowl, combine the ground rice, grated coconut and salt; the mixture should be crumbly.
3 Press a banana leaf square in the middle and crease one side to form a wide cone. Fill the tip of the cone with 2 tablespoons of the ground rice mixture, then hollow out the middle. Spoon 1 rounded teaspoon of the chopped palm sugar into the hollow, then top with another scant 1 teaspoon of the ground rice mixture to cover the sugar. Make sure the palm sugar is completely enclosed (to prevent leakage during steaming).
4 Fold the base of the triangle over to enclose neatly and arrange the cones on a steamer tray. Steam over medium heat for 25 minutes.
