Boil water in a pan. Carefully form a ball and then flatten it. Add the palm sugar inside. Seal it and make sure there are no leaks. Immediately put it in the pan of boiling water.

When they are floating, scoop them and roll them in the coconut mixture. If you want a liquid filling, wait 2-3 minutes more after they are floating..
When they have cooled, enjoy!.
