Peel and grate the cassava finely.

Soak the grated cassava in water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Drain the cassava and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Combine the cassava with salt, coconut milk, and lime juice in a bowl.

Mix until well combined and a dough forms.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Shape the mixture into flat discs about 1/2 inch thick.

Place the discs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and firm.

Alternatively, heat a skillet over medium heat and fry each disc for 3-4 minutes per side until golden.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
