Kuih Lepat Ubi Kayu



This simple Kuih Lepat Ubi Kayu is one of my childhood favorite cakes or kuih. It's made with grated tapioca root, palm sugar, coconut milk, and grated coconut. The best thing is, it's gluten-free!

Ingredients

500 grams Grated Tapioca/Cassava/Ubi Kayu
2 Tbsp Tapioca Starch
150ml Coconut Milk
1 Cup Grated Coconut
1/4 tsp Sea Salt

Syrup/Sugar Mixture
About 220 grams Palm Sugar/Gula Melaka
3/4 Cup Water
2 Pandan Leaves, knotted

12 Banana Leaves, about 8 x 12 inches

Method

Syrup/Sugar Mixture: Combine Gula Melaka, water, and Pandan leaf in a small pot. Bring it to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until the sugar dissolved. Cool slightly before using,

In a mixing bowl, mix together the grated tapioca, starch, coconut, milk, grated coconut, and sea salt. Then mix in the sugar mixture and stir until well combined.

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
