Once all the coconut milk is in proceed to knead with your hands until the dough is soft, malleable and no longer sticking onto your hands.
Let this rest and rise for about 40 min.
Then divide the dough into quarters and allow it to rise for an additional 20 minutes.
Roll it out into 1/4cm thick dough and slice into quarters.
Proceed to fry for about 2 minutes until golden brown, swollen and airy, then serve.
