  1. Cut the dumur into thin slices and place on a sieve.
  2. Pour in hot boiling water on the sliced dumur on the sieve and wash well. Set aside so that the water filters out.

  4. Heat oil in a pan and fry the onion slices.
  5. Pour the coconut milk when the onions turn slightly golden. When the coconut milk starts to bubble, add the dumur slices, salt and green chillies.
  6. Stir and allow the dumur to cook until the coconut milk dries up, the oil starts to simmer and float on top.
  7. Now sprinkle the sugar on top.
