1 kg of sweet manioc (polvilho doce)
2 dried coconuts for grating
Banana leaves
a pinch of salt
Soak the sweet manioc with enough water to achieve a well-granulated paste and season with salt
Heat a small frying pan and sift 2-3 tablespoons of sweet manioc over it
As the heat takes effect, the paste unifies, forming the beiju, a type of pancake
Flip and let cook for a few more minutes
Remove from heat and let cool
Repeat the process until all the paste is used up
Grate the coconuts and squeeze out the pure coconut milk using a fine cheesecloth
Soak the beijus with coconut milk and roll them up like cigars, wrapped in banana leaves that have been passed through the flame of the fire to soften
