Kuih Keria
Kuih Keria is a local donut made from sweet potatoes and flour. After deep frying, it is then dipped into caramelized sugar for a sweet and crispy coating.
Ingredients:
Sweet potatoes
Wheat flour
Sugar
Oil for Frying
Method:
- Boiled sweet potatoes in water. (You can opt to boiled them when cooking porridge like how I did mine.)
- Remove potatoes from water/porridge. Leave aside to cool. Mashed soften potatoes using the back of a fork.
- Mix mashed potatoes with wheat flour and knead into a soft dough.
- Shape dough into any desire shape you like, be it donut or small balls.
- Heat oil in wok. Fry them till golden brown.
- Remove all the oil from wok. Using the same wok without washing it, melt the sugar.
- Coat donuts in melted sugar. Removed and let it cool.

what the proportion of flour and sweet potato u used? can i use organic plain flour instead.
whats the original colour of sweet potato? orangy? or purple one? my mum never told me 😉
thanks.
did the ponteh..was good. show l8 🙂
The Queen says:  One bowl of mashed potatoes = one bowl of wheat flour. You can use any type of wheat flour but high protein flour is not advisable.Â
Sweet potatoes come in 3 colours – yellow, orange and purple. I prefer orange anytime.
My dishes all very simple wan. Glad you succeed in cooking ponteh.Â
