Ka-Nom Bua Loy or Dumpling in sweet coconut milk is quite easy to make. Actually I'm not crazy about any sweet or dessert but this dessert is the one I like and I frequently don't make it too sweet.
Ingredients :
A bit of squash, taro root or sweet potato or just the color for food
Coconut milk
Glutinous starch
Palm sugar
I use taro root, squash and pandan juice. For taro root and squash, I cook it in steamer.
Glutinous starch
Put taro root and squash in a bowl and add glutinous starch a bit at the time. Rub it until it mixed well together and if it too dry, you can put a bit of water.
Apparently I can make one color a the time but it is more beautiful if I make 3 colors up :D I like it to look colorful.
It's time to make little dumpling ;) I do it like in the picture and then cut it in small pieces, to do it like this make it easier and every of them will be even (more or less).
Put glutinous starch in a plate and the put and mix all the dumpling with the starch so it won't stick together. Boil water in a pot, when it boiled then low the heat and put dumplings in and wait until they float up then take all out from the pot and put it in cold water.
In a small pot, put coconut milk and warm it up on low heat. When it hot then put palm sugar (a little bit at the time if you don't like it sweet) and a pinch of salt. Put dumplings in the hot coconut milk until all dumpling float up again then it's ready to be served !!
