Klepon Ubi

 

This recipe is a little bit of modification from original recipe, as I know the original recipe just using glutinous rice flour. But the new one add sweet potatoes - to me, the texture is more soften than regular one and yet delicious. And this dessert become popular among Indonesian's Food Blogger - I tell you, how easy media attract you ^_^

Thought using purple potatoes giving more pretty colors too, but too bad I couldn't fine the purple one so just grabbed the red / yellow sweet potatoes than.
