PALITAO
~~~~~~~

2 cups sweet rice powder (Mochiko brand is good)
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp. toasted linga (sesame seed - not tinga!  that's something else!)
1 cup sugar
1 fresh grated coconut (frozen grated coconut is just as good)

Comnbine the sweet rice powder and the water, blend well, so that it does
not stick to your palms when you work on it.  

Boil water in a sauce pan.  Form the mixture into small balls, the size of
walnut, then flatten each and drop into the boiling water.  When the dough
floats, remove from the water.  Roll in fresh grated coconut.

Toast the linga (remember - it's sesame seed, ha) and crush.  Mix with the
sugar and serve with the palitao.

Have fun!  :)
