Bika are made of rice.flour, granted coconut and sugar. This ingredients are mixed to become the dough. The dough is poured into clay tube like moulds which are then baked.

Bika are not baked on a stove or in an oven using fire wood. instead, the wood is placed on top of the stove too.
The use of thebfire wood and clay cause the delicious bika smell to escape. So that connoisseurs don't get bored with coconut, bika producers have taken initiative in adding other ingredients such as banana or jackfruit in order to vary the flavours available.
