Directions
- In a large container, pour in a small amount of hot, salted water. ≈ 3 min
- Gradually add the rice flour, mixing as you go, to achieve a soft dough that is easy to shape and does not stick. ≈ 10 min
- Cover the dough and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Take small portions and roll them between your palms to create small, thin sticks, about the thickness of a thread but not brittle. ≈ 10 min
- Arrange the skewers on a dry plate, ensuring they do not touch each other. ≈ 3 min
- Bring the milk to a boil in a large saucepan with the bay leaf and cardamom.
- Once the mixture has thickened slightly, add the powdered milk, stirring constantly. Then, gradually add the sticks, ensuring they don’t stick together.
- Once the pasta is cooked and tender, add the palm sugar and coconut, then remove from the heat once the sugar has melted. ≈ 3 min
