Kuih Dadar

I have this sudden urge to eat Kuih Dadar. I was put-off in making this kuih because I do not have a coconut grater to make the freshly grated coconut. I finally decided to try & make it using dessicated coconut. Viola! The coconut filling taste as good as the freshly grated coconut. This recipe will make about 8-9 pieces of kuih dadar.
