dadar unti / rolled crepes with coconut stuffing

hello again.. with a new post for this week. this is my entry for this month's IFP. so happy for hosting this event with Tata Bonita. what come to our surprises is that many-many people has joined and submitted their entries to our IFP's email (indonesianfoodparty@yahoo.com). we are very lucky and also grateful for all of your supports. please join us again next month? my entry for this month is dadar unti or as i've stated above rolled crepes with coconut stuffing. it was one of my favorite traditional kuih. however, it is getting harder to choose what kind of sweets to make for IFP, because i have tons of sweets i want to make. 

dadar unti is quite simple to make. you just have to prepare the stuffing which can be made ahead, then just make pandan crepes, simple and lovely. my dadar unti doesn't come to its perfection though, i made the crepes to thick and i think there must be something wrong with my way of folding the crepes. it's not like what i used to eat. maybe it will be better if i cooked it the right way. so, how about if you try to make some dadar unti at your place and tell me how yours turn out?

Dadar Unti

adapted from Femina Cook Book Series - Indonesian Dishes and Desserts
serves approx. 20 stuffed crepes

crepes:

250 gr all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
375 ml coconut milk
50 ml suji leaves extract (20 suji leaves pounded together with some water and squeezed)
margarine/butter

stuffing:
1/2 coconut flesh, grated
150 gr palm sugar
2 pandan leaves
125 ml water
pinch of salt

directions:

1. crepes: sift the flour and salt in a bowl. make a well in the center and break the eggs in. stir in the batter while gradually adding coconut milk slowly. make sure there are no flour granules remaining. finally, add the suji extract and beat well.
2. heat an omelette or crepe pan and butter it. pour in a ladleful of the batter and quickly tilt the pan so the batter will evenly coat the pan. stack up each finished crepes separated by parchment paper.
3. stuffing: add all the ingredients in a medium saucepan. cook the mixture, stirring continuously until all the liquid has evaporated and the mixture is fairly dry. remove from the heat.
4. assembling: put 1 tbsp of the stuffing in the center of each crepe. fold over and tuck the ends under neatly. serve.

so, i guess that's all for today's post. i hope you enjoy it.. :)
