Last weekend I visited Bogor, a city near Jakarta to enjoy the culinary from this city. Bogor is also famous of Talas (white Yam). I bought 3 medium size of this Yam, and today I have chance to make this Yam into Kolak.
Kolak is an Indonesian dessert made with coconut milk, palm sugar with pandanus leaf for flavour. In some versions is always use banana or plantain and sweet potato or cassava, pumpkin and sometimes added with jackfruit. In Indonesia Kolak is popular during the Ramadhan.
I like the texture of Yam, a combination of sticky and chewy. So today I made this Yam into Kolak to everyone in my home to enjoy..
Ingredients :
3 medium size White Yam ( Peel the rough skin until you can see the white meat of Yam and Rinse Yam with water and 1 Tbs of Salt ) - Cut Yam into small bite ( Soak into Water and 1 Tbs Salt) - Drain the Water.
1000 ml Water
400 ml Coconut Milk
8 Pcs Pandanus Leaf
400 gram Palm Sugar or Brown Sugar
