Pas a pas
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, turmeric powder, salt, and caster sugar. Whisk them together to ensure even distribution.

Gradually pour in the coconut milk while continuously whisking the dry ingredients. Mix until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter with a consistency similar to pancake batter.
Uns 3 min
Nota de cuina: Ensure there are no lumps for a smooth kokis texture.

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough to fry, around 175-180°C (350-360°F).
Uns 5 min
Nota de cuina: Test the oil temperature by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle and float immediately.
- 4
Once the oil is hot, dip the kokis mold into the hot oil for about 30 seconds to heat it up. This prevents the batter from sticking.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Heating the mold is crucial for easy release of the kokis.

Carefully remove the hot mold from the oil, shake off any excess oil, then dip it into the batter. Do not submerge the entire mold; leave the very top edge uncovered to allow the kokis to release easily.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Dipping only partially ensures the kokis can slide off the mold.
- 6
Immediately transfer the batter-coated mold back into the hot oil. Fry for a few seconds until the kokis starts to firm up and detach from the mold.
Uns 1 min

Gently shake the mold or use a fork to help release the kokis into the oil. Fry the kokis until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Uns 3 min
Nota de cuina: Adjust heat if the kokis browns too quickly or too slowly.
- 8
Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked kokis from the oil and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Uns 1 min

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, ensuring the kokis mold is reheated in the oil before each dip into the batter.
Uns 15 min
Nota de cuina: Always reheat the mold for best results.
