===========================> Directions <========================
Roast and sieve the flour well. Grate the coconut. Place the flour
in a bowl and add the salt. Slowly pour in the hot water, mixing
with your fingers as you do so until it resembles bread crumbs. Add
the grated coconut and mix well in. Place the mixture in the pittu
mould and place over a pan of boiling water until steam emerges from
the top of the pittu mould. Cover with half a coconut shell and steam
for a further 5 minutes or until done.
Note: If a pittu mould is not available, mould dough into loaf
shape, wrap in muslin and steam for about 15 minutes.

Diet tips
In planning a meal plan, the important thing is to try to cut down your ingestion of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some low carb diet tips:
* Use splenda as a substitute for sugar.
Many recipes that need sugar can be modified to make use of splenda. It is much lighter so you will need to do a bit of trial and error and it may not work for every dish, but it does bake up nice in most cases.
* Don't skip meals
Most low carbohydrate recipes are, well...., low in carbohydrates. Your body requires energy, and carbohydrates are a very efficient source of energy. A low carbohydrate diet needs more care in monitoring you energy levels, as any energy contributed by non-carbohydrate sources is far slower to act.
Foods containing carotenes
(includes paprika, turnip greens and tomato puree)
These colorful plants have high levels of carotenes (alpha and beta) believed by scientists to play a role in helping stop cancer, spefically cancer of the lungs. The majority of these are also low in calories, so you should add them to your weight loss program.
