Tapioca Kueh

Tapioca kueh


The steamed Tapioca

Grate the tapioca and then washed it under running water. (I had no receipe to refer so I decided to try out in my own way.)
The grated tapioca weighed about 880gm so I mixed it with 250ml of coconut milk, 200gm of sugar and a pinch of salt. Place a few pandan leaves.
Then steamed about 15 mins and when it was cooked, let it cooled down.
Rolled the tapioca kueh onto the grated coconut.


The grating of tapioca took a while.


Mixed 250gm of coconut milk, 200gm of sugar (250gm - if want sweeter) into the grated tapioca. Put a few pandan leaves on top and ready to be steamed.


After steaming about 15 minutes, it was cooked. Cut it only when you wanted to eat.


Rolled the tapioca kueh on the grated coconut and was ready to be eaten.
It was wonderfully flavourful.
