Directions

  1. Wash the kidney beans and cook them in water until they are tender.
  2. Add the palm sugar, powdered sugar, and pandan leaves. Mix well and cook until the mixture is almost dry.
  3. Sprinkle with cassava flour to thicken the filling, which can then be rolled into balls once it has cooled. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. For the dough, combine the flour, lukewarm water, eggs, and salt. Form into balls, then hollow out the center to create a space for the filling, and then close the balls up again, making them about the size of a golf ball. ≈ 10 min
  5. Roll the balls around in the sesame seeds, applying gentle pressure to help them stick. ≈ 10 min
  6. Heat the oil in a deep pan and fry the meatballs over low heat until they are golden brown. Drain and serve.
