Pandan Ondeh-Ondeh

 
Saw many colourful kuihs on sale at the market places of Thailand cities and towns.  So colourful and I wonder where the colours came from.  I still prefer home-cooked from my kitchen as the sweetness is more acceptable.
My favourite kuih muih - Ondeh-ondeh.  This time simple pandan flavour with gula melaka filling.  Just as good as my previous post on Pumpkin Ondeh-ondeh.
Verdict - soft, chewy dough and not too sweet gula melaka filling coated with fresh grated white coconut seasoned with some salt.
As usual, you can get quite a lot from one portion of the recipe.  I made 1 and 1/2 portion, managed to get about 80 to share with neighbours.
 
Recipe Source - Yum Yum Magazine No. 78 - modified
Ingredients 
[makes 50-60 pieces]
250 gm glutinous rice flour
5 blades of pandan leaves blended with 250 ml water to extract 250 ml pandan juice [may need more or less]
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp oil

some gula melaka - chopped
250 gm white grated coconut mixed with 1 tsp salt and steam for 5 minutes, cool for coating
 
  1. Skin - combine flour with water then add in sugar and oil.
  2. Knead into a smooth dough.  Rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Divide into small portions [about size of kuih ee].
  4. Roll into ball, flatten and wrap up some filling.  Seal and roll into balls.
  5. Bring a pot of water to boil, drop prepared glutinous rice balls into water,  cook until rice balls floats up.
  6. Dish out with a serrated ladle.  Drop cooked rice balls into steamed grated coconut.  Coat well.
  7. Serve.

  3. Thanks Madeline, hope your attempts turned out well and you need not have to guiltily dump them away. I think our kuihs suits me more cos' I know it's natural colouring not like the colourful ones I saw in Thailand and they are too sweet for me.
