Sweet Potatoes Onde-Onde

I've made the green colour Onde-Onde which is of the pandan flavor before and is now trying a hand on this 'eyes-catching" orange or rather golden ones. Though it is one same dessert or snacks but the two recipes differs slightly. Let's get on with it....

Ingredients:
200g glutinous rice flour
200g orange sweet potato (peeled, diced, steamed and mashed)
160ml. water
Enough Palm Sugar (grated)
Fresh coconut shavings
Pinch of salt

Methods:

1. Into the mashed sweet potato add flour and water.  Mix into a dough, cover with cling film and let it rest for 10 minutes. (I prefer not to add all the water at one time, leaving a bit till the end to ensure that the dough is not too soft.)
2. In a deep plate add the fresh coconut shavings, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and stir to combine.
3. To make the onde-onde, pinch a portion of the dough and roll into your desired sizes, flatten with fingers, spoon some grated palm sugar in the middle (add more if you have a sweet tooth), fold up to seal and roll again into balls.  Repeat until all is done.
4. To cook, boil water in a half filled pot, drop the rolled onde-onde carefully into the pot, once it floats dish out with a slotted spatula and roll them in the coconut mixture to coat them evenly.  Place them onto a serving plate.  Repeat until all is done. (I will cook the onde-onde in batches to enable me time to coat them and to prevent the onde-onde to be over-cooked, especially when I am  making it all by myself.)
5. These eyes-catching golden onde-onde are ready to be served.
