Gula Melaka Kuih Kosui

One of my favourite Nonya kuih. I bought this from a pushcart stall by Chilli Padi Nonya Restaurant at Heartland Mall (Kovan). $2.00 per box. I can eat this everyday and won't get sick of it. *LOL*

Ingredients:
Gula Melaka syrup (A)

250g gula Melaka (palm sugar)
50g soft brown sugar
500ml water
2 pandan leaves, shredded and knotted

(B)
100g tapioca flour
180g rice flour
450ml water
1 tsp alkaline water
1/2 a grated coconut, use only the white of the coconut
1/2 tsp salt

Method:

• 
  Bring gula Melaka, brown sugar, water and pandan leaves to a boil to dissolve the sugars. Strain the syrup.


• 
  Mix both types of flours and water in a mixing bowl. Stir the syrup into the flour mixture. Add alkaline water. Cook the mixture over a gentle low heat into a slightly thickened batter.


• 
  Spoon batter into greased small Chinese teacups. Steam over rapid boiling water for about 15 minutes.


• 
  Mix grated white coconut with salt and steam for 4 – 5 minutes. Remove and spread on a big plate to cool.


• 
  Leave the steamed kuih kosui to cool completely before removing from the teacups. Toss kuih kosui in grated coconut and serve.
