Timphan Boh Ubi

---

---

Timphan is a traditional cake in my area, this cake is so popular that it is often used as a souvenir when visiting out of town. But did you know, there are many different types of timpan in each Acehnese tribal area. Even the use of materials and manufacturing methods will be different. However, there is one thing that is the same, namely wrapped in banana leaves and prepared by steaming.

Previously, I had made timphan cake using sticky rice flour and pumpkin mixture. This time I will make timphan with a different version without adding flour. Timphan this time in the Acehnese language is often known as timphan boh yam or in other words timphan cassava. The combination of grated cassava and processed grated coconut is very tempting, deliciously sweet and textured.

My family and I really like this delicious snack. In fact, this is my sister's favorite traditional cake. So, of course, in making timphan, the main thing that is needed most is a banana leaf package. For some reason, banana leaves will give a delicious aroma when we steam them later so that the cake we make will be even more exciting to enjoy.
