Eepoo is a simple dish to make and tastes so good with fresh coconut milk. Normally we eat Eepoo with raw fish, taro, and bananas. This is a sweet food because it is made with fresh, raw coconut and coconut water.
Total Time: 30 Minutes
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh coconut water (The water is recovered when we break the coconuts apart)
- 1 cup fresh, shredded coconut
- 2 cups flour
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 12-14 green banana leaves or other large leaves
Steps:
- Put the coconut water in a mixing bowl.
- Add the shredded coconut to a clean cloth. Wrap the cloth tight at the top.
- Dip the cloth in the bowl of coconut water. You want to absorb as much of the water you can into the cloth.
- Wring the cloth to squeeze all the water and coconut milk into the bowl. Your water with be a white milky color when done.
- Add the sugar and salt to the coconut water milk. Mix well so the sugar is dissolved in the water.
- Add ½ of the flour to the coconut water mixture. Use your hands to start mixing the flour with the water.
- Once mixed, add the rest of the flour to the mixture.
- Last add your coconut to the mixture and mix well.
- Prepare your leaves. Wash the leaves and remove the center stem.
- If you are using leaves youll need to place two leaves on top of each other. The stems should be facing the opposite sides.
- Place your batter in the middle of the two leaves. You want it to be about 2 to 3 inches wide by 8 to 10 inches long.
- Fold both sides of the leaves overlapping in the middle. This will cover the dough in the middle.
- Take both ends of the leaves and come to the middle of your package. Tie the leaves in a knot.
- In a large cooking pot on the stove boil your water. Once the water is boiling, add the wrapped packages to the water.
- Test with a toothpick to see when they are cooked. Normally this takes around 10 minutes to cook the Eepoo.
- Remove from the stove and drain the water.
- Unwrap the packages and place on a serving platter or bowl.
- Serve with fresh coconut milk, raw fish, and rice.
