Che' mek molek

The cuisine is well known in Kelantan and Terengganu. It tastes very much like kuih keria only that the sugar is enclosed within the dessert.
I have made a little alteration to the original recipe simply because of different type of sweet potatoes used in this variation in comparison to Malaysian sweet potatoes. The British one has more water; hence boiling the potatoes will make the dough too sticky.

Ingredients

1 kg sweet potatoes
2 cups of plain flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup of sugar cane
oil for frying

Method
1. Bake the sweet potatoes on its skin in the oven 180 celcius for 1 hour.
2. Once they are cold, peel the skin and mash the potatoes.
3. Add flour and make a dough.
4. Make an oval ball size 3 cm from a dough. Make a hole and fill the middle of the ball with 1/2 tsp of sugar.
5. Fry the balls under slaw fire so that the sugar in its cavity is cooked.
6. Enjoy the food.
