Finely grate the palm sugar. Form small dough balls and make a hollow in each with your finger. Divide the sugar between the hollows. Pinch the dough closed, then gently roll between your hands. The filling must be completely enclosed, with no cracks.

Bring a saucepan of water to the boil. If using the optional pandan leaf, tie it in a knot and add it to the water. Lower the bites into the boiling water. When they float to the surface, lift them out with a slotted spoon and drain. Spread the coconut on a plate and roll the hot bites in it. Let cool slightly before eating, as the sugar inside stays very hot.
