Farah starts her recipe by peeling and cutting the sweet potatoes into small pieces. The cut sweet potatoes are then steamed until soft. Once the sweet potatoes are soft, the next step is to mash them. Farah uses a fork to break down the texture of the sweet potatoes until smooth. This process is key to making the dough for the sweet potato balls soft and easy to shape.

The next step, Farah adds a little tapioca flour and a pinch of salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. After the dough is perfectly mixed, Farah begins to shape small balls from the sweet potato dough. These small sweet potato balls are then boiled in boiling water until they float.

3. Making Coconut Sugar Syrup
