HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large bowl, combine the grated sweet potato, all-purpose flour, shredded coconut, palm sugar, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

02

Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until a thick, sticky batter forms. The batter should be just wet enough to hold its shape when dropped.

03

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

04

Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

05

Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

06

Serve warm and enjoy these delicious Malaysian Coconut and Sweet Potato Fritters.

Easy Substitutions

If palm sugar is unavailable, light brown sugar can be used. For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Freshly grated coconut can be used instead of shredded, unsweetened coconut.
