Welcome to the kitchen; today we are making coconut dumplings with fresh coconut and coconut milk.

Start with 1.5 cups of coconut milk and grated coconut, adding it to the mixing bowl.

Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt to the bowl.

Gradually add the fresh coconut milk with grated coconut to the flour mixture to form a dough.

Knead the dough until it is well combined; if it's too sticky, add a little more flour.

Put a pot of water on the fire and let it come to a boil.

Once the water is boiling, shape the dough into small balls using your hands.

Flatten each ball slightly before placing it in the boiling water.

Make sure to wait until the water is boiling before adding the dumplings to prevent them from sticking together.

Boil the dumplings until cooked through, then serve.
