**Mix Ingredients**: In a mixing bowl, combine cassava flour, salt, and sugar. Stir in the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Gradually add water, mixing until a smooth dough forms. If too dry, incrementally add more water until it holds together.

**Cook the Bammy**: Heat the coconut oil or olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry each disk for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning!

**Serve**: Plate the herbed Bammy, making a small well in the center if desired. Drizzle the warm coconut milk over the Bammy. Garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme for a touch of elegance.
