Koleh kacang instructions:
- Place the mung bean powder in a mixing bowl.
- Dissolve the sugar in the coconut milk and mix with the mung bean powder; if you like, strain for a smoother batter.
- Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring, until it thickens to a smooth paste and comes away from the pot.
- Quickly pour the thickened mixture into a greased tray and smooth the surface by pressing with a piece of oiled banana leaf, or oiled spatula.

Browned coconut milk crumbs (tahi minyak) instructions:
- Bring the coconut milk to a boil without stirring. Then, cook, stirring, until the oil separates from the milk solids. Lower heat and cook, stirring now and then, until the milk solids turn brown - about 45 minutes.
- Turn off heat, and scoop out the browned milk crumbs with a strainer. Spread the crumbs on absorbent paper towels to drain excess oil. Store in a clean jar. Reserve coconut oil for other uses.
