Steps

1

Steam stweet potatoes until soft. Mashed it while it is still warm. Mix in glutinous flour and coconut milk. Add ice water bit by bit and knead the dough until a pliable dough forms. Do not add too much water, the dough should be hard enough to handle otherwise it will burst easily when we boil it.
2

Meanwhile, steam the grated coconut together with some pandan leaves (for the coating), add a bit salt to make it tasty. Discard the pandan leaves. Set aside and let it cool.
3

Divide dough into equal portions and form into balls. Flatten a ball of dough in the palm of your hand into a flat disk of a. Place a teaspoon of gula melaka in the center. Gather up the sides and seal well to form a ball. Roll between your palms until ball of dough is smooth. Place on a plate. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

Note: after some trials, i found that rolling the palm sugar into ball first before you roll the glutinous rice dough, really helps. This way, you will make same size of filling and your hands won’t feel sticky
