   Heat the coconut oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat until you can insert a wooden chopstick into the oil and bubbles immediately start to form around it.

   Heat the coconut mold in the hot oil for 15–20 seconds, then gently shake the mold to remove excess oil. Dip the mold into the batter until the batter touches the upper rim of the mold, then immediately dip the mold with the batter into the hot oil. Fry with the mold for about 1 minute to set the shape, then lift and remove the mold and continue frying until golden yellow and crispy, about 45 seconds more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
