Oneh Oneh

Ingredient
-one sweet potato, mashed
-1 cup of tapioca flour
-2 palm sugar
-1/2 whole fresh coconut, grated

Method
1. Steam grated coconut with pinch of salt for about 10-15min. Set aside to cool once cooked.

2. Cooked the sweet potatoes with a pot of water until soften. Mashed the potatoes completely. Set aside to cool.

3. Use an apple peeler to scrape the palm sugar.

4. Mix the mashed sweet potatoes with tapioca flour. Use hand to mix and squeeze them to become a dough. (Adjust flour accordingly.  Potatoes : Flour, 5:4)

5. Divide the dough into small portion, about 1 Tbsp. Roll into ball, use thumb to press into the ball, fill the hole with palm sugar. Closed the opening and roll into a ball. Set aside.

6. Heat up a pot of boiling water. Throw in all the balls. Once the ball float up, it is cooked.

7. Put the ball lightly onto the plate of coconut and roll. Once the ball is covered with coconut, it's done.

*Note
I failed on my first attempt when i finely chopped the palm sugar, it doesn't melt completely even when i cooked very long.
So i tried again using the peeler, and it was ok this time.
