Khanom chan

Method

1. 1 Mix tapioca starch, rice flour, coconut milk, and sugar until smooth, then strain through a sieve.
2. 2 Divide the flour into two parts; mix one part with pandan leaf water to give it a green color.
3. 3 Heat the mold in a steamer, then pour in the first thin layer of batter and steam for 5 minutes.
4. 4 Pour another layer of color on top of the first layer, steam for another 5 minutes, and repeat until all layers are cooked.
5. 5 Steam the last layer for an additional 10 minutes, let it cool completely, and then cut it with an oiled knife.
