Ingredients

  • 80g Tapioca flour
  • 1300ml Water
  • Food colouring
  • 140g Taro
  • 140g Sweet potatoes
  • 40g Sago
  • 160g CSR Better Brown Sugar
  • 250g Coconut milk
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 3 Pandan leaves

Instructions

  1. To prepare the tapioca jelly from scratch, create a dough by adding boiling hot water to the tapioca flour.
  2. Divide the dough into two portions and add red and green food colouring respectively. Flatten the dough and cut them into smaller pieces.
  3. Boil the pieces of dough until they turn translucent. Once cooked, put them into a bowl of cold water to prevent them from sticking together.
  4. Steam the diced taro, purple sweet potatoes and yellow sweet potatoes for 20 minutes.
