The abundance of sweet potatoes next to my house made me think about continuing to process the sweet potatoes so that the sweet potatoes don't go bad. There are times when I just fry the sweet potatoes, sometimes I just boil them and not infrequently I also process them into various kinds of preparations which I often do. make and some are also part of my experimental menu to create new recipes. And today I also tried a recipe that I have made several times, but for now I replaced the flour because I wanted the appearance of the recipe I made to be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
To make this recipe I don't need to spend money or leave the house to buy the supporting ingredients, because I will use the ingredients that are already in my house. Apart from being lazy about going out, I also feel that all the ingredients in my kitchen are complete to make it. my experiment. And because I said at the beginning that I have an abundant supply of sweet potatoes, I will use 2 types of sweet potatoes this time, namely purple sweet potatoes and yellow sweet potatoes, so I don't need additional coloring to enhance the color of the dough.
The ingredients I will use to make this recipe are:
1. Sweet potatoes (I don't use special measurements but when I make this recipe I use 1 purple sweet potato and 1 yellow sweet potato, and I just boil the rest)
2. 1 spoon of rice flour'
3. ½ spoon cornstarch
4. Palm sugar (to taste palm sugar because I will slice it for filling in the sweet potato balls)
How to make :
1. Wash the sweet potatoes first so that the soil attached to the sweet potato is removed, then peel the sweet potato and then cut the sweet potato into small pieces so that when it is steamed the sweet potato will cook quickly, here I chose to steam the sweet potato so that the color of the yellow potato doesn't mix with the the purple sweet potato. And when I peeled the sweet potatoes, I heated the steamer so that when I finished peeling the sweet potatoes, the steamer was hot.
2. Steam the sweet potatoes for about 10 minutes
3. Around the 7th minute, I pierced the sweet potato with a fork, and when it was soft, I turned off the heat on the stove.
4. After that, grind the sweet potatoes of different colors separately.
5. And what I am currently giving an example of is purple sweet potato, after mashing the sweet potato, then add 1 spoon of rice flour and cornstarch, stir until evenly mixed, if the dough is too dry then add water little by little until the dough becomes smooth or comes together, and Here I didn't add water because there was still quite a lot of steam in the steamer so I didn't add any more water.
6. Once the dough is soft, flatten the dough then add the palm sugar into it and cover the dough again then shape into balls until all the dough is used up.
7. After all the mixture is used up, heat the cooking oil over medium heat, then fry the sweet potato balls until they change color.
8. It doesn't need to take too long because the sweet potatoes are already cooked.
9. Purple sweet potato balls are ready to be served.
When making these sweet potato balls, when serving them, you can also add fine granulated sugar, but because I don't consume granulated sugar anymore, I just enjoy and make these sweet potato balls without adding any toppings.
The sweet potato balls are ready to be enjoyed hot and it would be nice to accompany them with a cup of tea, and thank you for accepting my recipe, greetings from maytom, Indonesia
