Keria OR Telinga Keling???

Okay... I know what peple will think; 'stupid title'. NOOO, I'm serious here! I just learned how to make kuih keria that turn out looking like kuih telinga keling! You want to know why??? because I used purple yam!
F.Y.I. this is how kuih keria should look like.

And this how kuih telinga keling should look like..
This is the type of yam that I should use..
And this was the yam that I used..

The method is very easy! Well, my method atleast.. Boil the yam and prepare flour.

Mash up those yams and a bit of flour till they appear dough-like..


Make them into 'O' shape while you heat up the oil in the pan..

Fry them..

After fried put them aside..

Boil some water and add sugar. Don't put too much water and make sure they are just 'cukup-cukup'..

Put the fried dough into the water and sugar mixture...

Flip 'em till the mixture dry and take 'em out once the flaky sugar coated appear..

Okay.. mine didn't have the flaky texture because I didn't wash my pan! :P But this babies tasted superb and soft!!
Crispy on the outside but soft on the inside.. Or, brown on the outside but PURPLE on the inside!!

More professional shot! ;P

I say again, this is my KUIH KERIA! not TELINGA KELING!!

=D
