The sudden popularity of kuih keria gula melaka makes me wanna go all the way to Melaka to have a sample of the original version of this delicacies. But reading all the bad reviews online on the customer service there made me change my mind. I might as well do it on my own, as it's not that difficult of a recipe.
I did a quick search on the internet and saw many version of this recipe. Some version asked for sweet potato, baking soda, rice flour etc. I guess you need to try each one to know which combination works best.
So the ingredients and the recipe are as follows;
 |
Main ingredient - White Sweet Potato (Ubi Keledek Putih) |
I peeled the potatoes and cut them into cubes so that it will cook faster later on.
 |
I used 1.25 kg of potatoes and I got around 40-50 kuih |
 |
Give them a quick rinse and boiled them in water with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Make sure it's tender all the way through then you can drain the potatoes in a strainer |
 |
Now it's time to mash the potatoes. Since I don't have the potato masher I just used the old school pestle. Well actually Nazli did the all hard work |
After a while I add in 1 1/2 cup of flour. Make sure you did not add in too much flour.
 |
Then make a ball in your hand, poke em in the middle. Kind of mini donuts. |
 |
Heat the oil and deep fried those doughy goodness |
 |
Trust me, these babies are even good on their own. Especially when they're still hot! |
While waiting for them to cool off a bit, get ready with the glaze. I've made the mistake of right away adding the keria in while they're hot and they...... deflated. That's not a nice sight. Haha
For the glaze, you'll need gula melaka, sugar, pandan leaves, some water and a bit of salt.

 |
Put everything in a big pan and let it simmer and bubble a bit. Don't add too much water in! |
 |
Then add in the fried keria. Keep on stirring the kueh until it thickens and hardened a bit |
 |
The heavenly outcome. |
