Sweet Potato Ondeh Ondeh

It's the last day of my holidays.. so what better way is there to end it.. by making Ondeh Ondeh!! Hehe.. I had no idea the sweet potato I bought was purple inside and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted just as it is! :)

Recipe (from cooking is my passion):

10 oz sweet potato peeled, cooked and mashed

2 1/2 cup glutinous rice flour

1 tin Coconut flavored evaporated milk

250gms desicated coconut (use freshly grated ones if you're lucky enough to find a bag)

3 pandan (screwpine leaves) --> I forgot to buy pandan leaves but it's alright.. it will still taste good!

1 tsp salt

Method:

Blend pandan leaves with 1/3 tin of evaporated milk till leaves are complete ground. Mix mashed potatoes, flour and pandan mixture in a large bowl and knead till it form a workable dough. Add a little more milk if needed. Pour excess milk in a large deep bowl and empty the bag of dessicated coconut in. Sprinkle in the salt and toss well to combine.

Make ondeh ondeh balls by rolling them into tiny balls and pressing pieces of palm sugar into the center. Pinch the sides to close and roll them back into shape. Cook ondeh ondeh in batches of 6-8 balls in boiling water over the stove on medium heat. They float up when they are cooked. Strain and coat with coconut. They are best eaten warm.
