Pumpkin Ondeh-Ondeh

 
Ondeh-ondeh whatever colour they are, is something I love to eat.  This time I made it with pumpkin which gives it a nice natural yellow colour.  
Verdict - The glutinous rice balls with palm sugar filling, coated with freshly grated white coconut are irresistible.  Soft and chewy, sweet and savoury.  
This quantity makes quite a lot.  I have enough for own consumption and also to share with 2 neighbours.  Very satisfied that I made these.
 
Recipe Source - Y3K Magazine
Dough Ingredients
200 gm pumpkin puree [obtained from about 350 gm pumpkin]
200 gm glutinous rice flour - sifted
1 tbsp tapioca flour mix with 1/2 cup water and pinch of salt
Filling
100-120 gm palm sugar [gula melaka] - chopped
Coating - Mixed and steamed for 5 minutes - cooled
250 gm fresh grated white coconut + 1/4 tsp fine salt
 
 
 
 
  1. Sieve glutinous rice flour into a mixing bowl.
  2. Mix tapioca flour, salt and water in a saucepan.  Heat over low heat, keep stirring until it turns translucent.
  3. Quickly pour over flour and knead together with mashed pumpkin to form a soft dough.  Cover to prevent dough from drying out. [Note: I prepared the dough the day before and refrigerate until the next day, dough is soft and easy to handle].
  4. Divide dough into small pieces [like size of kuih ee].  Roll into balls.  Flatten a ball with your palm, place 1/4 tsp chopped palm sugar into the dough.  Seal and roll into a ball.  Finish doing the rest.
  5. Bring a pot of water to boil, drop the balls to cook for about 2 minutes or until the balls float up to the surface.
  6. Remove cooked balls with a serrated ladle and roll them over steamed grate coconut.
  7. Place on serving plate to serve.

    Hi Phong Hong, I divided the ondeh-ondeh into 3 portions. My hubby ate 1/2 of the one portion just immediately after I made them. Later, when I sat down to enjoy in front of the TV, I started regretting when the ondeh-ondeh pop inside my mouth. They are really nice. I should have kept 2 portions, hehehe!. I'll make it again, this time keeping more for own consumption.

    Hi Miss B, your are most welcome. If you have pumpkin in the house. Very easy to get this done. My hubby suggested coating it with ground peanuts like the one we use to coat mochi. Great idea if we can't get fresh grated coconut.

    Hi Joyce, as I said before the syrup inside pop when you put it in your mouth. This is a sign that the ondeh-ondeh is good. My favourite too.

    Hi. I've tried it out. It tasted good but unfortunately the dough was so soft that I need to use two spoons to scoop and roll it. Wonder if I should add in more glutinous rice flour? But will it affect the texture?

    Hi Yal, your pumpkin puree could be too wet. Steaming pumpkin with the skin on is a way to prevent the mashed pumpkin too wet.
