(receipe from my Secondary School Home Economics Textbook)
1 small sweet potato (approx 200g) - yellow inside
2 tbsp plain flour
1 tbsp tapioca flour
Green colouring or pandan juice
1 cup grated coconut (add salt to taste)
12 pieces of gula melaka (peanut size)
Method:
1. Scrub the sweet potato and boil until tender. drain well
2. Peel and mash the sweet potato
3. Add the flour and knead to form a pliable dough
4. Add the pandan juice/green coloring. mix well
(my experience: Set aside for 20min)
5. Shape the mixture into small ball with a pc of gula melaka in the centre
6. Bring water to boil
7. Drop Ondeh Ondeh one at a time into the boiling water. Cook when floats
(my experience: also ensure gula melaka melts)
8. Drain well and roll in grated coconut
