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
freshly grated coconut

Method:

Steam the sweet potato until soft.

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

Knead till a smooth dough is formed. You can add more water if the dough is dry.

Chop gula melaka into bite size pieces.

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.
