Nutritional values
Thanks to the dates, no extra sugar is needed for these delicious coconut-rice balls. Rice and rice flour provide plenty of energy in the form of carbohydrates. Natural rice also contains phosphorus, a mineral which ensures healthy teeth and is important for strong bones.
These balls are a perfect to-go snack! You can also work ground almonds into the filling for more protein.

- 6 ozs Brown rice

Preparation steps
Bring the rice with the turmeric, vanilla powder, pitted and chopped dates, and the coconut milk to the boil, cover, and cook over low heat for about 25 minutes. Leave to cool open, puree, add 5 teaspoon rice flour, and then form about 20 small balls.
For the coating, mix 6.5 ounces of rice flour in a bowl with a pinch of salt and add so much water and work it in until a soft, smooth dough is obtained. Form 20 balls from this mixture and press flat. Wrap the rice balls in this mixture and place them in a steamer tray. Steam closed over hot steam for about 15 minutes. Take them out, roll them in the grated coconut and serve cooled down.
