It's so much fun making dessert using vegetables like pumpkin and sweet potatoes because they are naturally sweet and give attractive colours to the food. We didn't need to put any sugar at all which makes it healthier for all- low GI and low carb especially for people with diabetes mellitus. We train our children to omit added sugar if possible to avoid dental caries as well. Additionally, this is definitely a way to sneak in veges and make my children eat the rainbow!
Ingredients
120g pumpkin
120g purple sweet potatoes
170g glutinous rice flour
Gula Kabung (optional)
Pandan essence (optional)
120g purple sweet potatoes

Pandan essence (optional)
Steam 120g pumpkin & 120g purple sweet potatoes.
Steam 25g dessicated coconut with a pinch of salt.
Peel and mash pumpkin & add in Glutinous Rice Flour and Pandan Essence.
Knead until it comes a soft dough which doesn't stick to the hands and the colour becomes uniformed.
Mash sweet potatoes.
Make pumpkin dough balls, then flatten with palm.
Place the sweet potato fillings in the center of the dough ball and enclose, pinching the dough together and roll gently back into a ball shape.
