• You can use cuchinta mold for steaming.
• Using fresh coconut gives a good taste, use a  grater or shredder to grate coconut.
• You can use pandan water or fresh pandan boiled in water.
• To prepare the grated cassava first wash the cassava to get rid all the dirt and peel off the brown and white silky outer skin. Using a fine grater grate cassava and remove the hard stems in the middle and discard. Keep on grating until you’re done with all your cassava.
• Place grated cassava on a clean cheese cloth and squeeze out all the juices before using. If using a frozen cassava just thawed it first before using.
