Buah Melaka (or Onde-Onde some people call it)

This is one of my favorite desserts. It's so easy to make and it is absolutely delicious.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of Glutinous rice flour
• 1 cup of Plain flour
• 1 cup of water
• Food coloring (Green or any color you like)
• Palm sugar (shredded)
• Grated coconut
• Salt

Instructions

• Mix glutinous flour and plain flour in a metal bowl.
• Add water gradually to make a dough.
• Add about a tablespoon of food coloring to the dough. Knead the dough until it is pliable.
• Pinch a small portion of the dough and roll it in your palm to make a ball.
• Press the ball and place a small amount of the shredded palm sugar in the centre and then gather the dough around so that the palm sugar is covered. Roll in the palm of hands again to form a ball.
• Boil water and place a few balls in the boiling water. Once the balls are cooked, they will float to the top. Use a slotted spoon to scoop them out and place them onto a sieve (Dont leave it too long as they will get sticky and will be difficult to handle later).
• Place grated coconut on a large plate and sprinkle a little bit of salt. Roll the balls on the plate to coat completely and there you have it!
