Ingredients
- 250 g sweet potato
- 100 g tapioca flour
- 15 g plain flour
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 65 g sugar
- 65 g coconut milk
- 500 mL vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Steam the sweet potato of your choice until it's cooked through, then leave to cool down.
- Mash the sweet potatoes up then add tapioca flour, plain flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
- Mix well. The mixture will seem slightly dry at this stage but don't worry.
- Slowly add the coconut milk whilst mixing. You should be able to start forming it into a dough.
- Cover and rest the dough for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oil to about 160°C.
- Then form into little bite-size balls, this recipes makes about 40 balls.
- Fry the balls in the pan while constantly stirring them around. When the exterior starts to cook you try to press and submerge the balls in the oil so they cook evenly. This should take about 7 minutes to cook through.
