Wash rice. Soak for 1/2 hour.
Drain rice, then put the rice, liquid coconut milk and pandanus in a pot.
Simmer on medium heat until all water is absorbed. Turn heat on lowest setting  and cook with lid closed for 10 minutes.
Prepare steamer.
Cut the banana leaves into 4 squares, wrap the cooked rice, roll it in a cylindrical form as compact as you can. Secure with a cling wrap. Steam for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from steamer and cool the rice. Slice with cheese cutter/knife. The pieces will look like rice cakes. Coat the slices with grated coconut.
