FRIED SWEET POTATO BALLS / BEBOLA KELEDEK GORENG

If you are in Phuket look for this. It's a street snack made of sweet potato and glutinous rice. If you are Malaysia, you can find this in Petaling Street. It's crunchy outside and soft inside. A bit chewy, and could be addicted once started. For this recipe I used three type of sweet potato, the yellow, the orange and the purple. Perfect for tea and easy to make.

FRIED SWEET POTATO BALLS
INGREDIENTS

450 g  Sweet Potato Flesh - boiled and mashed / 450 gm keledek, rebus dan lecek
2 cups  Glutinous Rice Flour / 2 cawan tepung pulut
1/4 cup Corn Flour / 1/4 cawan tepung jagung
1 cup Sugar / 1 cawan gula
1 cup Grated Coconut / 1 cawan kelapa parut
¼  Salt / 1/4 sdt garam
Oil for deep-frying / minyak untuk menggoreng

PREPARATION

1. Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl and add in the glutinous rice flour, corn flour, sugar, grated coconut, and  salt. Mix with your hand to get soft dough. Knead lightly to form a smooth dough./ Satukan keledek, tepung, gula, kelapa parut dalam satu bekas. Gaul dan uli rata.
2. Pinch a small piece of dough (about 15 g each) roll them in your palm to form a smooth ball./ Bentukkan bulat seperti bebola kecil dengan menggunakan tangan.
3. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or heavy pan over low to moderate heat. Put in a cube of potato – when potato is nicely colored, the oil is hot enough to fry the sweet potato balls. Fry until golden, remove and drain on a paper towel. Serve immediately. / Panaskan minyak dalam kuali dan goreng hingga ke kuningan. Angkat, tos dan hiadang panas-panas.

Kuih ini banyak dijual di sekitar Phuket dan kalu di Malaysia boleh didapati di Petaling Street. Menggunakan keledek dan tepung pulut, tentunya manis dan liat-liat sedikit. Untuk resipi ini saya menggunakan ketiga-tiga warna keledek, kuning, orange dan ungu. Sesuai dijadikan sajian petang
