1.In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, jaggery, grated coconut, salt, and cardamom powder.

2.Gradually add the coconut milk and water to the mixture, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter.

3.Cut the banana leaves into squares (about 6x6 inches) or use parchment paper if banana leaves are unavailable.

4.Place a spoonful of the batter in the center of each banana leaf square.

5.Fold the edges of the banana leaf over the batter to create a small packet, securing it tightly. If using parchment paper, fold it similarly.

6.Steam the packets in a steamer for about 30 minutes, or until the batter is cooked through and firm to the touch.

7.Remove the packets from the steamer and let them cool slightly before unwrapping.

8.Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious pater!
