Pichi Pichi

I got this recipe from a book but thanks to my friend Macky Ilagan who taught me easier way to cook pichipichi without the hassle of steaming. You can use the microwave if you are not so conscious with your electric consumption.

Ingredients

2 cups of grated cassava (1 pack of frozen cassava from asian store)
2 cups of white sugar
2 cups of pandan water or 2 tbsp of pandan extract (caraville brand)
>for the pandan water just boil pandan leaves until desired flavor is extracted)
1 tsp of Lye Water
Grated coconut for garnish

PROCEDURE

Combine all ingredients except the coconut in a microwavable container.

Microwave for 5 minutes under the highest level. Stir and set it for another 5 minutes then another 2 minutes and stir.. reapeat it for last 2 minutes.



However, if you prefer to use steamer to save energy you can pour the mixture into 9 inch round pan then steam for 45 minutes.

Let it cool and form into balls and roll in a grated coconut.



Enjoy merienda.
