Re-hydrate the desiccated coconut in a bowl with the water. Add the flour and salt and mix it with your hands. (If using fresh coconut, add water a tablespoon at a time for the right consistency and you won’t need 1/2 cup.)
Dough will come together as pictured. Unlike all-purpose wheat flour the mixture is more delicate to handle. Roll into golf-ball sized balls. Cover and rest for 10 minutes. Heat griddle. Flatten the dough into discs like the video. Cook on the griddle.
I haven't used any oil in this recipe but you could add a little coconut oil or butter into the dough as well as to grease your hands. Once cooked serve warm.
