Ingredients

• 200 grams Glutinous rice flour
• 5 leaves Pandan leaves (or pandan extract)
• 150 ml Water
• 100 grams Palm sugar (gula Melaka), finely chopped
• 100 grams Freshly grated coconut
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

If using fresh pandan leaves, blend them with the water to make pandan juice, then strain to extract the liquid. If using pandan extract, mix 1 teaspoon with water instead.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour with the pandan juice (or pandan water) gradually. Knead until you get a smooth, soft, and pliable dough that doesn't stick to your hands.

Step 3

Pinch off small portions of the dough (about 1 teaspoon each) and roll them into small balls using your hands.

Step 4

Flatten each ball into a small disc and place a small piece of finely chopped palm sugar in the center. Wrap the dough around the sugar and seal it completely, rolling it back into a smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 5

In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Gently drop the filled dough balls into the boiling water, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.

Step 6

Cook the balls for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and let them drain briefly.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, mix the freshly grated coconut with a pinch of salt. Roll the cooked balls in the coconut mixture until fully coated.

Step 8

Serve the Onde Onde warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the burst of sweet palm sugar when you bite into them!
