Ondeh Ondeh (using sweet potatoes)

Ingredients:
500 gm sweet potatoes (skin off)
110 gm tapioca starch
50 gm water
250 gm gula melaka (cut into cube)
300 gm skinned grated coconut (add 1/8 salt & steam for 3 mins then leave to cool)

Method
1. Peeled, sliced, steamed and mashed the sweet potatoes. Mix the mashed sweet potatoes & tapioca starch with water. If the sweet potatoes too dry, add some water.

2. This dough have to knead until it is soft. Divide the dough into small portions, put a piece of gula melaka into each ball, drop the ball into the boiling water. Once you see the water boil after drop in the ball, add cold tap water to reduce the temp, so that the ball will not break as it was boiling.

3. Then observe this time, again the temp is raised, the water start to boil, you see bubbles, add another time of cold tap water, then let it start to boil again. This time when you see the ball start to float up when the water starts to boil, scoop it up then roll it over the cold steamed grated coconut.

4. Remember to roll it over when the ball is hot, so that it will stick with the grated coconut. Once the ball is coated with grated coconut, it will be ready to serve.
