Mix grated coconut and sugar thoroughly.

In a separate bowl, mix all purpose flour and salt, then add a spoon of sugar and oil; mix well.

Gradually add water to the flour mixture, kneading to make a dough.

Divide the dough into smaller balls and flatten each ball into a thin circular shape.

Place a small amount of sweet coconut filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the circle in half to create a semi-circular shape and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

Boil water in a pan, place a stand in the pan, and put the empanadas on the stand once the water starts to boil.

Cover with a lid and let cook for 20 minutes.
