Badak Hitam Berendam (Soaking Hippo)

The Hubs requested for badak berendam today and while going through the pantry for glutinous flour, I realize said I only had about the 1/3 of the required amount. So I told him I'm gonna give him badak Hitam instead .. Lol

For the dough :

150g glutinous flour (I used 50g glutinous flour and 100g black glutinous flour)

1 small boiled potato, mashed - about 80g

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp sugar 

I/2 tsp pandan paste

115ml water (more or less)

Knead all ingredients until it forms a soft dough.

Coconut filling :

50g gula Melaka

60ml water

1 tablespoon sugar

Pandan leaf

1/4 tsp salt

100g grated coconut

Simmer all the ingredients in a pot except for the coconut until all the sugar is melted and then add the coconut. Stir well and set aside to cool.

Coconut gravy :

250 ml of kara santan (coconut cream)

100ml water

1/4- 1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tablespoon corn starch

Pandan leaf

Simmer all the ingredients until slightly thickened. Add more water of it's too thick according to your preference.

Once the coconut is cooled, divide into 12 portions. Flattened each portion and fill it up with the coconut. Close it up into balls

Once all the balls are ready, have a pot of boiling water with Pandan leaf and a pinch of salt and slide the balls gently into the water. The balls will float when cooked. Drain and combine with the coconut gravy . Enjoy!
