Onde Onde

Bonsoir,

I made this simple and easy Malaysian dessert called onde onde or kuih gula melaka few days ago for our friend farewell party. Onde-onde should be tender and chewy texture made from glutinous rice flour and filled with palm sugar.

These chewy little balls dessert doesn't require many ingredients and it's easy to prepare.

ONDE ONDE/ PALM SUGAR BALLS

Ingredients:

1 cup glutinous rice flour
1/2 cup pandan leaf juice or plain water
1/2 cup palm sugar, chopped
1/2 cup grated coconut, mix with a pinch of salt
Few drop green food coloring, optional
Salt

METHOD:

- Combine glutinous flour and pandan juice or water in a bowl and knead to form a smooth dough.
- Add a few drop food coloring and more glutinous flour or water if needed until you get a pliable dough.
- To assemble, pull off small size portion of dough and flatten in your palm and fill with palm sugar, then fold the dough to seal and gently roll it into a ball.
- When all the dough has been prepared, boil a pot of water and add the balls into boiling water.
- The balls are ready and cooked when they start floating on the surface.
- Removed with a slotted spoon, drain briefly and roll each ball in coconut mixture.

Voila, c'est pret! Bon appétit!
