1/2       cups Granulated White Sugar

* Shredded Coconut I just got it from our coconut tree and I used this grated (Kaguran in Filipino) used to shred the coconut manually to make sure I get the good texture and sweet part of the coconut.

_Everything is ready and now is the mixing time or massage time lets proceed with the process._

_*First Step_ : Mixed the 2 cups of Glutinous Rice Flour and 1 cup of  warm water. Mixed it well to get a perfect texture of soft dough using a clean hands mixed and massage it until you can feel enough softness of a dough and not sticky to form perfect soft and chewy dough.

_*Second Steps_ : I used scoop to get same size and roll it in my palm and form each into a ball. I also put some food coloring to add presentation and taste. You can put any color as you desire. Set aside  for a moment.

_*Third Steps_ : Put the pot into the burner with about  2 liter of warm water depends on the pot you used just put enough water but not full  and turn the burner into medium heat and let it boil.

_While waiting for the water to boil continue the second steps and after flatten all the rolled ball dough and form an oval or round shape._

_*Forth Steps_ : When the water is already boiled lets now start the cooking. Put the flatten dough or patties into the boiling water with atleast small distance to avoid sticking one flatten dough to another. When the dough start to float or rise on the surface that means it's already cooked. We need to use slotted spoon to moved them away from the water to avoid over-cooked. After that drain the water well and using a tong starts rolling the dough one by one into the grated coconut immediately to avoid sticking one dough to the other.
