Keria Ungu (Purple Ring)

These delicious rings are crispy on the outer when still fresh.... more over enjoyed the tasty Malacca Palm Sugar used for the coating. I just love the beautiful natural purple of the sweet potatoes and in addition the taste is also naturally sweetened with no added flavour or color is necessary at all! I was very pleasantly surprised that my little fussy eater, Liana returned from school with her emptied container!

Thanks Shuxian for bringing back the very original palm sugar from Malacca. It is very fragrant and tasty.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
Kuih ni kalau kat rumah ni sorang 10 biji pun tak cukup kalau ikut hati.... comel2 jer, boleh sekali ngap. Anak2 Along memang suka makan Kuih Keria tambahan kalau salut dengan Gula Melaka. Buat ni tak payah resipi sukat tepat2 sangat pun sebab hanya guna dua bahan iaitu keledek & tepung. Letak tepung cukup2 supaya dapat di bentuk & tak melekat di tangan. Tapi Along letak juga lah sukatan buat panduan adik2.

Along nampak keledek ungu kat pasar, murah pula cuma RM2 sepinggan. Selalu nya RM5-6 sekilo, sebiji keledek kecil main timbang RM2 sebiji.... huh. Tengok warna purple pun cantik, terus bedal sepinggan & cantik sangat buat kuih keria ni dengan warna ungu terang dan rasa keledek yang semulajadi manis. Kuih Keria ni kalau kat Taiping, orang panggil Kuih Gelang. Waktu panas2 sedap sebab di luar nya rangup, dalam nya gebu dan gula salutan nya pun rangup. Kalau di biarkan terlalu lama di suhu bilik, gula akan mencair semula dan kuih jadi lembut tak rangup. Ada gak orang yang suka bila sejuk camtu.... Along pula memang suka makan panas2.

Ready for the fryer....
