– In a mixing bowl, combine the rice paste, grated coconut, sugar, yeast, and salt.
– Slowly add the coconut milk to the mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
– Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the batter ferment for 6-8 hours, or until it doubles in volume.
– Once the batter has fermented, grease a steaming tray and pour the batter into it, filling it only halfway to allow room for the sannas to rise.
