Kuih Koci
Kuih Koci is a traditional sweet dumpling popular in Singapore and Malaysia. It features a chewy glutinous rice flour dough filled with a sweet mixture of grated coconut and palm sugar (gula melaka).

- โEnsure the banana leaves are properly softened to prevent cracking.
- โThe dough consistency is key; adjust water and flour as needed.
- โDon't overcook the abalone if using it in a variation, as it can become rubbery.
