With the purple and orange sweet potato balls sitting in my freezer, I just can't help thinking of what dessert to come up with next ~ smile ~ It doesn't take me long to figure it out, and with these 5 ingredients: Sweet potato balls, local barley, pandan leaves, sugar and coconut milk, here is the end product of today's simple dessert....
Few simple steps to kick start my cooking:
- In a medium pot bring water to a boil with few pandan leaves (knoted).
- In another pot bring water to a boil. Add in the sweet potato balls, each colour at a time as I prefer to have a clear purple and orange coloured potato balls. Once the potato balls floats up to the surface, it's cooked. Dish with a slotted spoon and set aside. Repeat until both potato balls are cooked.
- Once the pandan flavor fills the kitchen add granulated sugar, stir to dissolve and taste for correct sweetness.
- For the local barley, I boiled it separately, refer to the recipe here
- Scoop the barley grains (grains only) and put it into the sugar water, amount depending on your preference.
- Add in both the purple and orange sweet potato balls and stir to mix.
- Lastly, add in the coconut milk, amount also depend on how much you are cooking and your preference. Some people prefers a more pungent coconut milk taste than others. Once it comes to a boil remove the pot from heat.
- Remove the pandan leaves.
- Scoop into a bowl and let it cool a bit before consuming. This desserts is best served either warm, room temperature or cold.
