Ondeh Ondeh (1)

It’s sure been a long time since I last made a batch of Ondeh Ondeh.  I believe my last attempt was in November 2011 and at that time, I used purple sweet potato and it was really pretty.

The craving started when I went to Maxwell Road Market and was told that they were not selling Oneh Oneh on that day.  

Thus when I was at my favourite wet market, I decided to get a bag of freshly grated coconut to make some for myself.  I couldn't find purple sweet potato so I have no choice but to use the normal variety.

I concluded that using freshly grated coconut will solved my choking problem.  Yes, those nonya kueh that I get from store always make me choked and that is why I hated it.  It just got lodged in my throat and refused to glide down.  

My hubby said I am weird but I know there are people who had the same experiment with me and that include my son.

Now I can truly enjoy my ondeh ondeh 100%.  Yea

Nevertheless, if you have the same problem as me, and still love Nonya Kueh, get freshly grated coconut.  It will definitely solved the issue.

Verdict: Very good texture and doesn't have stick in the mouth feel.

Yield : 18 pcs
What you need:

150g steamed sweet potato
150g glutinous rice flour
6 tbsp water or more
1 tsp corn oil
chopped pieces of gula melaka

Method:

Steam the sweet potato until soft.

In a bowl, mash the sweet potato, add in the glutinous rice flour, water and oil.

Divide dough into 20g each and wrap in the gula melaka.

Put the wrapped balls into a big pot of boiling water.

Fish them out when the ball floats.

Toss them on to a plate filled with grated coconut and coat all around the balls.
