Nonya Desserts & Others


Timus - An Indonesian dessert that is cooked by Sarifa, my mother's help.  This dessert is typically cooked by the Indonesian locals....Simple and very delicious.  It is very much like our local Goreng Pisang, but this is made of sweet potatoes.  However the crust is not as crispy as our Goreng Pisang as it is not made of rice flour.  The ingredients are as follows, though I am not able to give you the exact measurement as Sarifa do not measure in gms or ozs...it is 'agak agak' (own measurement - Nonya lingo).

a) Sweet Potatoes (steam and mashed) - approx 300 gms
b) cornflour
c) sugar (to taste)

Mix the mashed sweet potatoes with sugar and some cornflour.   Roll them into oval size balls, coat lightly with cornflour.  Put into the fridge for a while.  Fry them on low fire till golden brown
