• Sprinkle it with salt and then mix it (taburi dengan garam lalu aduk rata).

• Cover the steamer holes using the pandan leaves and then put the grated cassava on top of the pandan leaves (Tutupi semua lubang pengukus dengan daun pandan, kemudian letakkan singkong yang telah diparut diatasnya).

How to make the coconut milk vla (cara membuat vla santan):

• Tie a half granny knot in the middle of the length of 1 - 2 pandan leaves (ikat 1 - 2 daun pandan membentuk dasi)

• Boil and stir it using medium heat (didihkan santan menggunakan panas sedang).

• Add the boiling coconut milk vla with the dilluted tapioca flour and stir it evenly (tambahkan tepung tapioka yang telah diencerkan ke dalam vla santan yang mendidih dan aduk rata).
